Hd front help .

Hey I'm trying to put a 2002 silverado hd hood grill and top bumper pad on my 2003 tahoe does anyone know if I have to do any adjustments or cutting or will everything slap on ? Thanks in advance.

You will have to lower the bumper brackets on the frame horns a couple inches to fit right.

^ yes. Aside from that, everything else is bolt on.

It's the actual frame horn itself that has to be moved. They need to be cut off and welded back on lower. I moved mine 1 1/4" because I wanted a tight bumper gap. There are also some brackets that go from the frame to the corners of the bumper that have to be modified as well. Also there is a lip on the bottom of the core support that needs a little trimming.

Also here's a tip: you'll either have to shorten/buy shorter bolts for the top of the bumper, or drill a hole in the top of the frame for the bolt to pass through. Since the horns are moved the top bolts are now too long and will contact the frame.
