Going chrome..need help

I currently have a King Ranch with painted bumpers. I have decided to swap out the bumpers for chrome. The problem that I am having is there are several part numbers for the front bumpers and trying to sort out what is correct has not been fun. What I do not know is if the front bumper for the Lariat is the same for a KR with the chrome option. When I look at my current setup with the additional wheel surrounds, the bumper comes out flush with the surrounds, so is the bumper on the Lariat proud of the wheel well? Can someone share with me their VIN if you have a KR with the chrome option so I can do some more homework.
thx,
Mike

Find someone local to swap with you, plenty of guys here are doing the opposite and ditching chrome. You may get lucky.

I'd like to go chrome on my 17 as well. Nothing wrong with the painted ones but I'm a chrome wh*re.

I've got chrome front and rear bumpers off a '17 Lariat Ultimate. Front one has the LED fogs. My son put Road Armor bumpers on it when he bought it and they are sitting in my shed. Plenty of them around though.
