Default SS front bumper on a 2500HD?

i hit a deer this past weekend and all it did was bend the corner of my bumper. so i was thinking i might try and get a SS bumper for the front and get it body colored.

any thoughts?


anyone seen one?

Go for it, it would look awesome. I love the color matched front ends on the SS's. I am not sure how the front "intake" looking squares in the bumper would look on a HD, but I dont think it would look bad at all, maybe a little high off the ground but thats about it. I would personally do it.

wont look right. look at your bumper and you will notice the top black piece is taller than what is on a non hd truck.

so i think if you put an ss bumper on your hd there will be a gap between your grill and the top of the bumper. but with a little work you could have something one of a kind..

Or this.

This is how the guy did it. First you need to replace the top cap of the factory with one off of a 1500. Then cut of the factory bumper brackets and weld on new ones, higher up. The cover is a Street Scene SS Cover. Its not a true SS bumper, but it gives you an idea.
