This is my completed front end upgrade from the original 2010 Ram 1500 laremie 2 pice bumper and grille, to a mid 2014-15 -16-17 sport, one piece sport bumper.
Found a complete one piece bumper off a 14 Ram tradesmen,that I got repainted to match my truck, and luckily a white 13+ grill.
Couple of years ago, I did the sport hood, and the black projectors headlights. Even though it’s a older truck, it’s almost in perfect shape, and I love driving this truck! I’m very meticulous with everything I own lol. So instead of upgrading to a newer truck, I upgraded the front and to a later model Ram!! Watcha think?

Looks great.

What kind of shape is your F bumper in? Rusty? I'm looking for a '12 (and under) chrome job. PM me if you would like. Thx!

Note: I wonder if a bumper is too expensive to ship?

Looks sharp! Love the sport/express bumper cover. Do you have to change anything underneath? Like a new bumper structure or brackets etc?

My original chrome bumper is in perfect shape, but, shipping this big and heavy bumper, isn’t going to be cheap.

Yes, you have to have 2 plastic pieces structure that go under the headlights, and a plastic center piece that the bumper cover snaps in to

Oh, I had to slightly modify one end of each upper plastic pieces, just drilled a hole one it , since the earlier models radiator support didn’t use the later style, but fits perfectly, and the bumper center impact bar lines up with the frame

2012 Ram a basic front bumper weighs about 38 pounds + it is Oversize

That would not include the braces & other hardware, or the air dam
