ok i really like the look of heady duty trucks and i have a 2500 and was wondering if everything on the front of this is bolt on and or what would i need?

I like the black diamond looking grill, the middle chrome bar with the chevy emblem i can go either way and the bumper looks different but im not sure? can anyone help? maybe prices or part numbers?

everything should just bolt right up

You have to trim your frame tips a little so that the bumper can be lowered. Not exactly a bolt on mod, but not to hard if you got the right tools.

Yeah it will pretty much bolt on.

do i need that chrome bar with the emblem to do this or can i just keep the one i have. cuz i want the hood, the grill and the bumper

 

[greyHD]

The grill and chrome bar is all one piece, just like yours now. So you would need the hood, grill, and bumper cap (the acual bumper is the same). And yes the bumper will need to be lowered to get it to fit.

you will have a harder time with the 2500 than i did with the 1500. the frame tips on your truck are harder to lower than mine. if you lower your frame tips, it will bolt right on.

you ever get ur HD hood on?

so the only thing different about the bumper is that top black part? it just goes right over and clips on it or something?

Yup, the chrome bumper itself is the same, topcaps are different. The HD topcap does have 2 supports in it at the corners but just snaps on the bumper.

[Josh]

you only live once. i aint scared :head:

 

[Josh]

[Josh]

ok now what if i go to get a brush guard? would i order one for the 2500HD or just the 2500?

you would actually be in a bind, because, you would have the 2500HD grille shell and bumper position, but you would have the 2500LD frame behind it. you would have to order a 2500HD grille guard and probably make some custom brackets to mount it up. i work at a truck accessory shop and have alot of experience with this kinda stuff. its a little easier to explain in person.

 

[spitfire2332]

i kinda figured id have to do something like that, i was thinking id have to cut out some of the bumper maybe but you work at the shop not me. thanks for the help

depends on the grille gaurd you go with. you shouldnt really have to cut the bumper on any of them, even with the HD conversion. lemme know what kind of guard you get and ill see if i can walk you through it when the time comes.
