Hopefully someone has a link or experience that can help me with this.
I've seen that the 2014+ step bumper from a 1500 is a direct bolt-on for the 99-07 1500, but I need to know if it's a bolt-on for the 1500HD before I spend hundreds on a new bumper. The brackets are different between the 1500 and the HD so I'm not sure if everything will still swap. I can also find a 2500 step bumper if that's a better fit for the 1500HD.
I really want the step bumper since the truck sits a bit high, but I'm on a budget so taking it to a shop for welding work isn't a good option.
