Does anyone know if the 2500HD Front bumper for the 06-08 is anything diffrent than the 1500?

I am specifically looking at the mounting points and size issues?

I am working with a company right now on a front bumper and was wondering if the 2500 HD one would fit my truck

Side not it is not a front bumper replacement its more pre runner

Remember? Baja 2011?

Best thing to do would be look around at road armor and some of those companies and see what they offer. If they offer the same bumper for both then probably. I'm not sure though. I want to say it won't but dont take me to the bank.

I have a company that has fabricated both and just asked them if they need me down the to fabricate a new one or if they have the template.

Thats why I was wondering about mounting points and size. if they have the template I don't have to drive 1500 mile for the fabrication and they can just send me the 2500 one which i like a bit better.

I guess i cant imagine the mounting points being all that diffrent i mean body wise they are essentially the same truck right?

Yes the mounting plates are slightly different.

But there are wholes on the actual bumper that can be hung on either mounting plate. I have the front & rear bumpers off a 07 1500 sport on my 06 3500 now.

(sorry pictures are not 100% the best to show the answers to your questions but I wasn't doing the pictures for a DIY just general information)

By removing the plate from the ('07) 1500's bumper and attaching the ('06) 3500 mounting plate to the bumper I was able to put '07 1500 sport bumpers on my '06 3500.

So as long as the mounting plate (if included in the aftermarket bumper, some do not) is removable you should be able.
