your gonna need the wide body front bumper, the OEM front bumper will not line up, due to the fender flares.

good luck to you, and welcome to the board

I just finish putting mine on couple of days ago. It took me three days to do the job, but the good thing is that the previous owner had a Tom kit on, so everything gutted out already. Dont have to take off all the other factory bolts and nuts, made mine own

Welcome aboard!!!

Yeah you need a new bumper. Check craigslist. You'll see them there every now and then and if you don't you can always ask other sellers as they usually get other kits.

my front bumper is just cracked here and there gots some peices missin. i know if i take it to the body shop they could proly fix it but i mean would it just be cheaper in the long run to just buy another bumper.what yall think

Yeah getting the shop to fix it will probably be cheaper. If you get a new bumper, there may be some alignment issues and the shop will still have to fix that which could end up costing more..... Go to the bodyshops. They will entertain your business since economy is so bad lately. I'm sure they'll take every business they can... Good luck.
