Default HD front end questions

Besides the hood, what all is different on the front end of the regular and HD trucks. Talking 00-02 style front ends. Is the bumper taller for the bigger frame or does the grill come down further? What's up with it?

I guess that's one way of doing it. But you'd still be half an inch too high.

Well n doing this you would have a HD front end and could fit the dmax Intercooler. And if you tapper it back to no lift in the rear you get a level body stance without raiseing the torsen bars.
