Default Front bumper brackets

I need new front bumper brackets for my truck and having trouble finding them. I have the Sport and all I am finding is brackets w/o the sport package and the sport package for 99-02. Need some help. Thanks

On yours, is doesn't matter if it's a sport. The bumpers were the same. (just painted, instead of chrome.) Non-sport brackets are exactly the same as sport.

Does your truck have a body lift? Did you put the brackets on upside down? Are you perhaps exaggerating a bit?

There is some adjustability there. Just the bumper is friggin heavy.

No doubt! My non-sport chrome front bumper is really heavy. I took mine off once to install fog lights and it was very heavy and awkward getting it positioned and re-installed properly.

It's a four arm project getting it on straight for sure.

Can you get a couple friends to help, see if you can lift it up to where it is supposed to be?
