bumper question...

I am putting a new bumper on my 86, want to go stock.
A few guys have told me to put the 89-91 burb bumper on.
What's the difference?
thx.

Re: bumper question...

the suburban kept the 73-87 body style until 1991, when they finally switched over. I guess the reason they want you to use those is because it is a couple years newer. Although, and I'm not sure of this, the brackets might not line up correctly when mounting.

Re: bumper question...

Its the same exact bumper, 83-91.
Nothings different but the Burbs are newer when you are considering used so they may be in better shape.
