It's 2 10mm bolts. I had my guys also spray my driveline bolts and exhaust bolts. If you can get help from your son, remove bolts and coat them with anti-seize/oil. Same for the oxygen sensors. Makes them easier to remove when time comes to replace things. Also spray the spare tire mechanism, chain and bracket. Make sure the 2 breathers at the rear axle are clear and/or re-locate them. You can also replace the non-torque sensitive zinc bolts with stainless flange bolts. Krown and Rust Check are basically the same formulas. They started out as 1 company, but the owners had a disagreement and split into 2 companies.
Thank you for the great suggestions. Truth be told, I had the front skid plate removed when they did the Waxoyl treatment and they did it on the ground. The spare tire mechanism was also done with Fluid Film when I removed the spare for the Waxoyl treatment. I will pull that small cover plate on the driver side frame and FF those fittings though.

I also forgot to mention that I apply a thin layer of Never Seize to the center bore of each wheel prior to winter to prevent the wheels from seizing to the hubs.
