As you can see I got mine installed but the previous owner was rear ended so it's not even on both sides. I think the 11+ bumpers have more issues fitting than the 08+.

 

I hope not, I picked up a 2013 that I'll put on in the next few weeks.

 

Mine bolted right up. I'm going to make a couple adjustments to move the bumper down a little. Just didn't have time when I originally installed it.

 

So the 2008 through 2010 bumpers should (in theory) bolt up?

 

Weather has been alot warmer lately and i have the bumper on the truck now, had to trim a little of the corner of the step pad once i could see where it was hitting.
Looks good, onto the next project with the truck...........

 

Glad it worked out. I had mine off and on about 4 times until i got it right. Sounds like it was the same area that needed trimmed. And what's up with an update and no pics?

 

For everyone installing these, make sure to leave a little gap between the body and bumper. The frames on these trucks flex and if the bumper is too close, it will make contact. Take a look at the first photo I posted above and note how much room is between the bottom of the rear doors and bumper on the passenger side compared to the driver's side. That is how much the bumper moves. My bumper in the photo below that one is mounted too close. I leave about a 3/4" gap now.

The brackets have enough play in them that you should be able to adjust that and get it to line up well. The firsts time I did mine, I had someone hold it while I tightened. Now when I do them I just get it close, snug it up a little, and then use a floor jack to lightly hold it where it should be while I tighten, then go to the other side and repeat until alignment is perfect.

 

I was thinking I could play with it some more but I'm planning on painting and adding sensors so this was temporary to get the rusted one off.

 

Is that a factory finish on the bumper or did you have it painted? Looks great and matches well with the vehicle color (my color also). Is it an 08-11 bumper?

 

No, it's Line-X. They were the only ones who could color match the lining.

 

It looks like a 11+ bumper due to no plug for a ball. It does match really well. Is it Arizona beige or mineral gray?

 

Also, what taillights are you running? Are they better than stock?

 

I believe it's a '10. Just can't see the cut outs because of the Line-X

 

They are Recon lights. They are awesome

 

This just got added to my to-do list.
