Summit would be my guess, they sell their own house brand of lifter trays. Thanks for the pics, it helps to be able to tell the quality lifter trays from the knock offs

Bottom line is, if you want to ensure you're getting genuine GM parts, go to a GM dealer, period. The $20-$30 (or less) you'll save when buying cheap trays can cost you thousands when, not if, they fail.

This....


That being said, I can't attest to the performance of the middle tray. They may be just fine. I myself always purchase and use the genuine GM trays.

(I don't want to bad mouth, or offend Summit in any way, as they are a GREAT contributor to this site.)

I can't complain about Summit OR Jegs. However......If someone screws up my order, or screws me, no matter who they are, if they fail to make it right, being a great contributor to any forum site would have absolutely no bearing on me posting the truth, positive OR negative, and lambasting the living Hell outta them if it was negative. Being non diplomatic, but blunt and truthful, have hindered me somewhat in my lifetime. I call a spade a spade. I'm not implying anyone follow me on this, nor am I saying anything negative about you or vendors. More on topic, I use genuine GM trays, and have had absolutely no issues with them, ever, even though my dual springs pressure ratings are probably far beyond what GM engineered them for...
