I'd like to help but I'm not sure exactly. They did change the body style quite a bit between those 2 generations. Would probably take some sort of fabrications to make it work.

That's About what I figured By Looking At Photos of the two It May Be Better To Have To Cut And Fabed Into My Bumper But That Would not be Cheap Having Bumper Recromed And All

Not without alot of fab work. The 09+ bumpers mount differently and they tuck in tighter to the body.

Been discussed 75,860,459,064,759 X's before.lol. NOPE. Won't fit. Won't work. Entire rear frame is completely different due to suspension and bed designs.

A local body shop here in the houston area quoted me $350 labor to put the dual exhaust bumper on my 03. Wasn't worth it to me
