Yes theyre a little cheaper without the retail markup

 

whats the difference between a 97 and a 98? they say for 98 up how hard will it be to fab up some mounts on a 97?

im new to the 4x4 crowd use to low riders

 

question what is the difference between the 97 and 98? they only list it for sale for the 98+
My 02 is in the body shop so i cant compare them but before i buy one i want to know how much of a hassle it will be to install this on my 97 truck

 

They changed the grill/bumper/etc design in 98. Not sure if that had any frame mounting changes, but with the bumper designs changing, clearances would have also changed. You would need to have them both side by side to see the exact differences or have some kind soul(s) take some pictures for you.

 

i know all that and i know that with a radiator core swap you can change the grill to 98+ but as far as i know the bumper mounts the same

if all i have to do is cut or trim my bumper then i would do it

wish i had both trucks outside to compare
