Does anyone know if the front silver skid plate for the current 2020-2021 Rebel can be purchased and installed on 2021 Laramie fairly easily (do it at home)? Or does the entire bumber need to come off etc...?
I can't seem to find the part online to even look at it.

I think the Active Air Dam deletes the Skid plate if you get the 4 x 4
Protection group.

They don’t match up in I’m correct you’ll need the rebel front end for th skid plate.. a lot of people fabricating there own and trying to sell them on here.. I recommend going to a shop and asking them to build one for you.. I’m sure it’ll be cheaper then anything you’ll find online

In my Race Car Days, we would make a template from Cardboard, Trace it on
the Steel sheet, cut out, and weld. Then Mount it. Taking the Cardboard to a thin
Aluminum sheet for measuring to input to CAD is just a small step to add.
I have done it all. The Compressor brackets to hold a Engine Driven Compressor
on my '08 Big Horn, went from Cardboard, to CAD, to Laser Cut Acrylic, to 3/16
Steel cut out on a 1400 Watt Laser.

I need to repeat that for the 2021 Laramie EcoDiesel to move the Train Horns over.

That is basically how I was doing things but having stuff 3D scanned and having my design guy create the CAD file for me saves a ton of time. It is worth the extra up front cost for sure.
