And oddly enough my 04 2500LD with 4.10's is legal to tow more than the same truck badged as a 2500HD. You have to love the way they rate things. Physical weight difference between the trucks... maybe 200 pounds, apples to apples.

Thx for the info guys.
In 2004 some of these trucks mustve been mixed with the low profile bumper cover because my friend has a 2004 2500hd duramax with the same bumper maybe earlier 2004 models had this then later they used the thicker cover. Also i this the 1500hd's ce with 5.3 motors if im not mistaken.
Imo the cover i bought looks way better then the low pro one n i saw how i can lower the mounts on the frame of the frame ... not my first rodeo fabin things n i dont mind i was hust lookin to see if i had to buy a diff set of brackets as an easy way out.

My friend sent me a photo of a 2500HD ( supposedly) with a Duramax anyway, 03-04, with the smaller chassis over the rear end. Either someone built it at home or GM did some strange things.

i have a 2004 2500hd it came with the smaller low profile front bumper cover on top of the chrome bumper i recently bought the higher raised cover for it and want to know if anyone has done this before becausde the brackets need to be lowered now so figured id ask before i start hackin n cutting stuff.Here's a link to what I did....you may get some ideas from the pics and essentially do the opposite.

Can you take a picture of the front bumper as it sits now (preferably from a position that has no up or down angle so I can see how things sit on your front end)
good luck with your project!!!
