2011 Bumpers

I am purchasing a 2000 F350 this week that will need a rear bumper. Some one is selling front and rear off 2011 F350 and would like to buy if they bolt up. Any info is appreciated.

They should bolt up, but the the front one won't "fit". You will have a pretty good space above it, especially at the ends.

Speaking of 2011 bumpers, I seen a F150 with a gold bumper to match the gold trim. Looked great. I want one. Or, Rhino mine with Adobe color.

Coming from a 2000, it'd be hard to believe it'd bolt up "neatly". Not sure if the holes line up the bumper lines are definitely different. I have no clue on the rear, never had that one off on my 2000... Can you go to a ford dealer with a tape measure and start snoopin' on the '11's bumpers?

You'd be in a limited crowd of Lariat owners with the quasi-KR look! After I smacked into a post and dented my front bumper a couple months ago, I'm contemplating the idea of rhino lining the front/rear bumpers in black and getting the XL grille/trim ring in black... The wife just wants me to replace the bumper but what fun is that?

I'm anti-chrome these days (Salted roads ruined it for me)....

I like the idea of the Rhino look.

Rear bumper will be direct bolt and fit, just need to transfer the wiring from your current bumper to the new one. Front bumper bolts around the tow hooks would likely work, but outer edge supports I am not sure, I know from the 04 and earlier to 05-07 front bumpers are direct swap, but things changed in 08 a lot with the front bumpers.
