Re: Rear sport bumper HELP

mine were already there, it is a leaf rear truck and the other hole is by the rear shackle bracket, Im sure coil rear trucks have a different bracket than I used. Hope this helps.

Re: Rear sport bumper HELP

[not gonna work, it is a lwb truck and it has the spare tire still in there with a hitch covering the outside of the frame too. sorry man. yours looks like a lwb also. there is going to be two holes on each rear frame horn that will line up with two of the four holes on the bracket. If you are working on a swb leaf truck, then you well need a different bracket. this is the bracket that I believe you need.

Re: Rear sport bumper HELP

These are the holes that you use. It looks totally stupid and installed "wrong", but that's the correct way for them to go on.

Re: Rear sport bumper HELP

I didn't either. If it looks like you installed it "wrong", you did it right.

If you try to mount them straight out, your bumper will be crooked, and the mounts will hit the bed.

I don't mind showing this... I was an idiot and couldn't figure this out either, so I went so far as to shim my bed

This pic is the WRONG way to install them:

Re: Rear sport bumper HELP

Thanks again man!!!!!I couldn't wrap my brain around the fact that they would mount like,at an angle.Or that GM wouldn't stamp all the holes at the same time for all bumper set ups...well I guess they did!!CJ.
