HD Conversion

[Gmcant33]

Has anyone converted their front end to HD just curious I know the 05 and 08 models most achieved them by simply swap and swap just curious if it was possibly with our 1500 questions like would be a plug and play situation bumpers,grill,and etc. my concern is the bumper I'm afraid the frames are different thus making harder to complete a project like this. Anyone can chime in on this would be greatly appreciate it $$ wise yes would be expensive but just wanted to see if possible.

I think the grille is taller on the HD's so I don't think it will work.

It can be done much like the 2013 and older trucks, which I've personally done myself. In my personal opinion, whatever that's worth, the PROPER way to do it, is to cut the front frame horns that support the main bumper bar and scoot them down to compensate for the "taller" front end, plate over the open end of the frame that you've cut, with enough excess below to reattach the frame horn and gusset behind them and under the frame rail with heavy square tubing. Other than that, all you have to do is buy the parts.

Btw those with front sensors and front collision alert would I run into issues or would the front sensors go out of whack.trying to cover as much ground before anything is considered
