What is this for?

I am in the process of installing Silverado seats in my K5. When I took out the original seats I found this behind the seats and just wanted to make sure it didn't have some purpose that would prevent me from removing it.

I belive it held the original jack/handle in place. Don't throw it a way, kind of a hard to find item for someone needing original setup.

Weird would have never guessed that. I just saw a huge spring behind the seat and couldn't come up with much of a purpose for it.

Btw mods - just saw this was in build threads by mistake. Feel free to move it.

Would be nice to see how those parts actually fit behind that spring and clip. Not that i could use the jack with a 4" lift
