Do i need to buy new 'brackets' for a new bumper?
Im in the process of ordering some new bumpers for my truck, do i need to buy new 'bolts/brackets etc, or can i use the ones that're already on it, im aiming to get on without a place to mount the ball...just a chrome smooth lookin bumper for the back, and a chrome one to match in the front. NO LIGHTS on either of em..but do i need to buy the brackets for em..id rather not order them, but would hate to order them wait 3 weeks and then not be able to put them on lol...thanks to anybody who can answer my ? and understand what im trying to say lol

Re: Do i need to buy new 'brackets' for a new bumper?
so the stock bumpers (back and front) already have the brackets I need, so when i order I just need to order the bumpers themeslves, no brackets, or 24 piece bolt kit. Am i correct? thanks for the replay lucky!

Re: Do i need to buy new 'brackets' for a new bumper?
Are you replacing the same type bumpers? Or is the rear a step bumper now?
If you are just replacing what you have on there now with the same style bumpers, you wont need need hardware/brackets, unless the existing ones are rusted and get jacked up when you remove them. If you are replacing a rear step bumper for a smooth sport bumper, you will need different brackets.

Get new bumper to bracket bolts.The old ones will not look good with the new bumpers.

Price.
If you are going from a step bumper to a sport bumper on the rear, you will need different brackets.

Re: Do i need to buy new 'brackets' for a new bumper?
Ya just the quality of the finish. I ordered a non-premium rear sport bumper and it looks fine to me. To answer your questions, the moto stickers came in the back window from the previous owner, but I do ride quads/dirtbikes alot. Living out here in the country provides lots of places to ride, and I am only an hour and a half or so from some great dunes on the Oregon coast. My main sand toy is a piped and jetted Yamaha 450 YFZ, and I have a Honda 400 EX, Suzuki 400, A grizzly, a big V Twin Arctic Cat tank and a couple of Honda Rubicons. Thats cool that you hope to have yours done by graduation, I wish I had started mine sooner! Good Luck
