Default Sport bumper on Slt???

So I got stuck in my friends field one day and couldnt get to the front axle to hook a chain up so I hooked it to the front bumper. I know pretty stupid. Anyways I bent my bumper and mounts pretty bad so I need to get new ones. The only used bumpers I can find are sport bumpers though and I was wondering what would I all have to do to put a sport bumper on my truck. Would it bolt right up or would I need special mounts and also change the grill and headlights to? If anybodys done this before please let me know what doing this would all include.

I think that this was covered already and the mounts wont line up right.

Dang. There goes my thought of putting a std bumper on my Sport. I hate the limited grill guard options for the Sport...

Or i could just get a std grill too.

Actually, it all depends on what year truck you have. The earlier sports (94-98) had the same grills and bumpers as the non sports, they were just painted. The newer sport packaged changed the grill and bumper. If you go with the new style sport bumper the grill will need to be changed also to look good/factory. The headlights don't have to be changed, as they are the same overall shape... but the sport units are twice as bright as the non sport headlight (have an extra bulb).
