does a 02-08 ram rear bumper fit on a 98 with little or no modification? I found a good deal on an 02 rear bumper. thanks

 

It will fit, just with some fabrication. I have seen it done before. But I would do it regardless because that would be different and way cool.

 

yeah dude.. im pretty sure they work. like he said.. i think u either have to bend the brackets or modify the brackets.. other wise.. i think ur golden. and i agree with purpl

 

I have always loved the way the new bumpers look.....Wait.....What about an '09 bumper with the exhaust cutouts!

 

^ Then you are really going to be looking at some serious fab work. It can be done mind you. The rear bumper on mine was made for a stepside chevy, took us about 2 days to figure out how to mount it up on mine.

 

I never realized there was that much difference in appearance from 2nd to 3rd gen. I'll have to keep an eye out, bumper has been dinged since I bought it.

 

If you're gonna replace your back bumper with ANYTHING then this is what you want.

Oh I disagree....
look at this purdy ***:

That was just a chrome shell when I got it, but we welded up 1/4" steel tubing behind it as a frame for it. Have been rear ended 5 times since I have put that thing on and there are a few scratches and nothing more.

 

needs lights in it than i might like it. Needs to look like like a big rig!

 

I just got a 2007 bumper given to me so I am going to try this I hope it works because my bumper is starting to rust.
