Has anyone converted their LT to a Z71 (front end)?

Curious if anyone has installed a Z71 skid plate on their 2020 or other late model LT? What other parts do you need for the conversion?

Also, i see that the Z71 version of the LT has a high(er) flow air intake... Anyone done the swap? If so, did you require a new tune to go with it?

Thanks!

nothing required other than the skids plates themselves the frame mounting holes are the same for all suvs/pickups in the 1500 range anyway.
these are the 3 oem part numbers for the 3 skids
23135959, 23135960, 23282726

don't worry about what the fitments say those will fit and work, just find the best price's, may as well get used one's if you can since they go under the vehicle anyway unless you like getting under it and admiring the fine looks lol

***you might need a couple more bolts because the plastic cover you take off the when putting the metal ones on only has 4 or 6 bolts and you will need 8 they are self tapping bolts regular bolts don't really fit you can make some fit but be sure to use one of the self taping bolts in the fresh bolt holes first to get the thread started.

as far as the air box being different I don't know I put a cold air induction on mine

thanks for the part #s...There appears to be a different front plastic part but that appears to be only needed if I added tow hooks...

ya it depends on your vehicles features if you have the lane keep assist or auto cruise control, etc then a sensor occupies the end of the frame rail where a tow hook would normally go so there is 2 different front trim pieces one with holes for the tow hooks and one without.
