quick question for those who may have done this conversion already. for the 04-05 bumper to fit on the 02-03 chassis, would it be necessary to get all 04-05 bumper brackets, absorber, reinforcement bar, ect. to make it fit? and would all those brackets, absorber, reinforcement bar all bolt right up to the 02-03 chassis without any extra holes being drilled or anything?

or would you just use the 02-03 brackets, absorber, reinforcement bar, ect.?

i just want the 05 bumper so i can get those rear fender flares with it. :eyebrows:

all help would be greatly appreciated, especially if you've done the conversion.
