High Country Lower Bumper Swap

snowman08 · November 19, 2019

I did a search on here as much as I could and read through Sotally Tober's build and now was wondering if many have swapped out the lower front bumper off of an High Country onto an RST? My main reason I want to do it is for the same reason Sotally Tober did his, I want to paint it white and completely change the look of the front of the truck, it looks killer! Just asking if anyone has any real good details on how it difficult it is to do or of there is an easier way to get that lower bumper trim onto an RST front bumper. Thank you!

Make sure you get PPF put on ASAP and you will be golden. Wish I could elaborate on the installation, as I had Black Jack Speed shop here in San Antonio do the install.

I'll have to do some more digging. I was hoping to just be able to buy the PN:84176756 (Skid Plate they call it) and mount it to the existing bumper but not sure if that will work or not. Might be worth just spending the $105 to find out!

Unfortunately, it wont. You need to buy both pieces of the lower bumper off a High Country. The shop purchased directly from our local dealership parts department after getting the VIN off of a High Country (to look up the parts) on the lot.

That's kind of what I figured would need to happen. I absolutely love the look of your rig but if I'm going to end up with $500-750 into that lower bumper, I might just wait to get a high country or LTZ next go around! Thank you!

Thanks. It was about $700.00 when everything was said and done. Totally worth it in my opinion as it changes the entire front look of the truck.

Do you have the part numbers to make this happen ?
