I have a 2002 1500 HD and bought the parts to do the 2500 HD grille and bumper filler. Has anyone "lowered"/modified the bumper with the stock hardware or was new brackets a must?? Any step by step or pics would help. Thanks!

 

I've only ever raised the bumper not lowered it but if you check out my build thread it may give you some ideas on how to do the reverse.

 

I actually figured it out. Got it done about a month ago. Thanks tho!
