No idea but from having seen one in person you'd need quite a bit of parts, not just the bumper.  

 

The bumper, impact bar behind it, plus the front fender extensions as well since everything under the headlights is different from a regular Silverado.

I've been looking into this and found 1 issue that would prevent the AEV front bumper from being used on the 2019-22 trucks.  Where the turn signals are located in these trucks, there is a foot step in the bumper.  It may be possible for a modification to retain the turn signals and eliminate the foot step holes on the bumper.  After all, the Sierra AT4X doesn't have the same top of the bumper with the foot steps, so I wonder if they're plastic inserts like the regular rear bumpers on our trucks.  I haven't been able to get close to a vehicle with these bumpers, but I have been doing a bunch of research on this conversion.  Yes, there's a bunch of unique pieces we'd need to purchase for the front bumper, but anything is possible with enough patience. 

 

AEV is now selling all the skid plates (except for the front skid plate at the front bumper) and rear bumper on their website.  It's possible that with a little time they may choose to sell the front bumper, too.

 

I've looked into doing the conversion on my truck (2020 Trail Boss LT), but it's going to be expensive.  AEV wants $3,000 just for the rear bumper, not including the Baja Designs lights and brackets.  That's more expensive than the ZR2 suspension upgrade kit from GM Performance.  If you got all the pieces for the front and rear bumper, plus all the skid plates including the front skid plate via the dealership, you're into this project for the cost a supercharger kit professionally installed.

      Actually, it probably was the brakes.  It's weird the way the messages came across, but I took it to the dealer thinking that something was wrong with the sensor and in fact, the rear brakes were shot.  What I don't understand is why the messages never said, your brake pads are low.  First I got the message I posted above, taking about new pads being detected.  Then I got a message saying that the system needed repaired.  It never said, change your brake pads.

      Lets Talk Z60 Suspension

      Did the KYBs keep it the same height in the front? I was concerned that pre-assembled assembly would raise it up an inch to standard non-z60 height.. I guess which it would make the rake 1 inch instead of 2 inches.

      OCI, not when but why?

      Thank you for keeping the train on the tracks and for a thoughtful engagement. I enjoyed the reflection on a previous stance to refine and improve your position. I like that inquisitive flexibility about you Atlas.    No the process isn't sterile. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of miles of piping, vessels, pumps. Chevron, the people I worked for, were keenly aware that there is a market for what is known as their "ISOCLEAN" line of lubricants. These are lubricants that are the same as those sold bulk that are further processed by filtration to a level your particular application demands. They will filter and package and provide lab documentation as required. Do not kid yourself. Every gallon of oil that goes into a Chevron Turbine, reciprocating compressor, generator is prefiltered and tested before being charged. Lest wise it was when I was there in the plants I worked in.    There are requirements set by manufactures for the cleanliness of the oils used in their equipment. OTR such as CUMMINS has standards shared with customers on this. Commercial interest selling to Ma and Pa do, but don't share that information. Not even upon request but internally, they do exist.    The GM study sited, (Graph from Machinery Lubrication in previous post) only shows "relative" importance.  I find that fascinating. By constructing the graph like this they admit there are dozens of factors in engine life and via scientific method determined the effect of 'relative cleanliness' on engine life not in miles but in 'FACTORS'. This allows a certain amount of reverse engineering does it not?   They even provided some touchstones. Beta 75 as a reference point. Wonderful stuff!!   Smaller blenders CAN and some DO take the time and effort to do better than a refinery or large bulk blender, like Warren Oil, in improving the "in the can" cleanliness. No I don't have a list but testing could generate that information.    Again, but one of several levers we can pull to improve engine life. The simplest is keeping a clean work station while doing your own oil changes.
