95-97 front bumper on 2000 5 lug

2000 5 lug 2wd

accidentally bought a 95-97 bumper and valance for my 2000 off of Craigslist. Can I still mount it to my 2000? Do I need to get 95-97 frame mounting brackets? I do like how this era bumper is more flush with the front end. Thanks!

 

The bumper will bolt up using the 95-97 brackets. The only thing you will need to remove is the frame horn / bar extension brackets (2 bolts) I believe they put them on 98 + trucks.

Here's a picture of my 99 with the 95-97 4wd front bumper. I also have 4wd front fender on this truck.

 

Awesome, thanks. I assume I can reuse the indicator lenses/housings? Fingers crossed all the fasteners will be the same too.
Been driving around with a tweaked bumper and cracked valence for too long.

 

You can try to use the newer indicator housings. But I believe they are a little more rounded than what was on the 95-97's. They are cheap to pick up on ebay etc.
