So, I have tried to do some digging and I just wanna make sure I have this right. For the 06-08, all I need is the bumper cover, and the sport beam, is that correct?

Anyone on here actually done this?

Yup just the cover. The switch I did was from an 07 1500 to an 06 3500

The newer smaller rig had a different mounting plate than the CTD:

06 3500's mounting plate:

Brackets come off w/ a couple bolts and the cover can be swapped:

Back bumper lines up just fine.

Sorry it wasn't a fully DIY the project got started while I was @ work and finished in a hurry due to a family emergency.

Frogger, what did you do in those pics? It just looks like you swapped a painted bumper for a chrome one?

yea it does



These are all quotes from "Workin". Apparently its an easy mod on the 06-08 models. The Sport or Laramie cover basically slides right over with no issues.

the only thing that will show is the rounded ends on the smaller grille opening, and if you use a billet insert there, it will never show.
sport bumbers are on ebay all the time.............
