Swap 2011 Sierra rear bumper with 2014 and up

[GMC Sierra fan]

Hey everyone just wondering if any of you have put the newer style bumper with side steps 2014 to 2018? On a 07-13 Sierra and if so did the swap go easy like does it fit without modifications and is the trailer hook ups and spare tire drop spot remain working in same location and sizes also if you did modify what had to be done thanks in advance

I am also looking to do this very swap but not looking to have to modify a whole bunch of stuff for it to fit the truck. A little modification would be fine, hopefully someone will shine some light on this soon!

If you search there is a thread where someone did this on a 2012 or so truck, I don't think it was all that tough.. The bumper is a nice feature if you're in and out of the bed a lot but, I do miss the cleaner look a bit on the GMT900 trucks..

It does look like that the Swap would be more a less just a remove the old bumper and just bolt the new bumper on to the truck. At least that's what it seems like from the Thread below.

it will fit .even the frame bolts are in the same locations. but if you have sensors in your bumper they are a different size and plug you will have to trim the rear lower corners of the box to allow clearance of the steps. i put one on a 2007 nbs and you cant see where i trimmed out the box
