Front bumper / Grill removal

[Steve Do]

Hey! I have bought GoRecon headlights for my 2022 Silverado Custom. (Non refreshed version So still looks like 2021). I was wondering how can I take off the front grill and stuff to put the headlights! 

 

Also. I’m planning to install a 2 inch leveling kit from rough country. Would 295/55/20 Fit perfectly? Or can i go up to 305/55/20. Thank you!

For tire fitment, the search function is your friend.

Why are you removing the bumper? You only need to remove the grill and side panels of the fender to change the headlights. I did mine about a month ago. The video I found said there were 5 bolts on each headlight when there are 6 and you HAVE to remove the side panel that wraps around the headlight because it snaps INTO the headlight itself. I'm not sure who made that video I found but it was missing a lot of information once I got into it. Make sure it is warm to hot out when you do it so the plastic isn't brittle and breaks. I had to flex the side pieces quite a bit to get them to pop loose from the bracket that bolts to the fender edge. The grill doesn't feel like it wants to let loose either and took quite a bit of tugging. The video made it look like you just pull away from the radiator with both hands and it comes loose. I had to pull from one side to get it loose first then work my way across the fasteners.

There is also a good chance you will break 1 or 2 of those white plastic clips.  You can buy them on amazon for pretty cheap so I would suggest buying a pack of them for a few pennies so that you have them in hand before doing the grill removal.

I didn't break any, but I did find one missing from the factory and another smashed instead of inserted in the hole on the fender side panels.

That sucks, lol.  Mine were all inserted properly, but I snapped one upon removal.  I think I got a bag of 100 white plastic clips for like $10 or something if I remember correctly, cheap insurance.
