You will need the brackets for the rear bumper. Pretty sure the front will bolt up to your existing brackets. The pads are removable but the holes will be left exposed.

Will the holes be different then the hole for the bolts to attach the brackets cause i was thinking that if they were the same, then i might get extra bolts and just put them in to cover the hole but don’t know how that would look. Thanks for the reply.

The holes are different. The ones for the pad are elongated.

You're welcome. I bought my rear brackets thru Brothers Truck Parts I believe. They were less expensive than the other retailers.
