Rebel or Aftermarket Bumper

[RedBeard85]

Would it be possible to swap out the stock bighorn bumper for the Rebel bumper/skid? Aftermarket options are decent but limited...

Looking for increased approach angles in Northern AZ, Utah, Colorado rocky off road landscape.

Currently the truck is stock, but planning a 3.5" lift with 35"s.

Thanks all!

You can technically get a rebel bumper on your truck but you will have to change a few more grille parts, they are different in the BigHorn.

Interesting, do you know specifically what would need to change?

 

[MannymanX]

Yes. The grille and cheeks below the headlights.

Excellent. Thank you. Looks like quite the project but worthwhile.

any update if anyone has done this? simple purchase of bumper/grill/under headlight trim pieces or is there a slew of other things required as well?

A lot of members swapped their BH grilles with Rebel or Limited ones... You just need the parts that I mentioned above...

I am referring more to the rebel bumper itself with the grill/trim pieces included. I've yet to see anyone run the bumper.

Then I hear the TRX bumper is the same as the rebel minus removable flares?

I can't find any rebel bumpers around but I have a bunch of TRX ones nearby for cheap.

+1 interested myself. Cannot stand how the Laramie fender flares and front bumper are not flush as put more eloquently in this post https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/if-you-had-to-choose.8955/post-128005

Perfect setup in my eyes would be the Laramie grille with the rebel bumper and lower skid plate

The front inner fender liners are different also.
