Default Suburban/Tahoe -> Stepside rear bumper

Searched, read that people "thought" they might be the same. Was able to compare the two side by side. They are in fact the same, with a few subtle differences. Hope this may help someone in the future.

The plastic steps are different, and there are thin metal support plates that will need to be removed. The brackets are different, but fleetside bumper brackets will work. I attached a few pictures for reference.

So the metal part and the reinforcement are the same but the mounting brackets and plastic are different.

Good to know!

Just an update, I got the bumper on my truck finally. I used the fleetside brackets, the two flimsy outer brackets that sit at an angle had to be notched to clear the bed. Not a huge deal, but figured it was worth mentioning. Hope this saves someone some trouble in the future.
