Default Which bumper would look best?

In the future when I get some cash I wanna swap out my bumper for a newer bumper. I can't do it anytime soon.


04 bumper


Xtreme bumper


gmc

Off topic: Also would one of the newer back bumpers fit on? I like the style much better, but would I need all 3 pieces?

I dont think that the Extreme bumper will look good if youre gonna lift your Blazer, but if gonna lower or go with the stock height I would go for the Extreme bumper.

But Ive never seen a lifted Blazer with the Extreme bumper, maybe Im totally wrong.

Na I'm not going lifted, stock height for me. And I have yet to see an xtreme bumper on a 96, so it could work good.

95-97 and 98+ have different rear bumper end caps so yes, you will need all three sections.

AFAIK they are the same length.

PN: 29-9788, but for $329.95, you're waaaay better off going to a junkyard and refinishing a used one.



Sucks your truck isn't white. I'd trade you my bumper+endcaps for yours since I like the flat top bumper better than the step.

Wloton: not all, cause some are flat across and some have that hump, but yes there are quite several different kinds

tripleblackblazer: thanks, when I posted this I was actually looking at a different page in LCM. I'd need the end caps correct? (left/right) and could I use the same mounting hard ware I have now, or would I have to get 98 ones?
