Rear Bumper Cover Differences

[STORMIN08]

curious if anyone with a Yukon XL can inform me if the lower rear deflector has insert tabs that protrude through the cover ?

Most part numbers for internal pieces are the same, but the covers and hitch covers differ in GM part number.

I personally like the GMC rear deflector and would like to have this on my suburban...just curious if i will need to entire cover to accomplish this.

I'm drawing a blank, what's a lower rear deflector?

on the 15 up yukons there is a small textured black lower trim piece, lines up nicely with step boards and front valance.

i prefer the look of it, but the burbs do not have it. i noticed when following a lifted yukon, gives a slightly higher appearance, and a little protection to the rear lower edge.

Never noticed that before, looks great but what really catches my eyes are those older wheels on that newer Suburban, awesome combination!

agreed on both, i searched for that wheel as a take off for my 13...never could find a set. my 17 has this set of 22, and will be receiving a 285/50/22 along with a 2.5/1.5 level lift. i really think the lower valance cleans up the rear and gives a slight height appearance.

Betcha the holes on the sub are there...

Parts #’s for sub, denali xl, and lower valence. Says it doesn’t fit but they used to say that about the front valence for an nbs truck that didn’t have it. When I get a chance I’ll look under my 19 yuk and look...and take pics

Look under your bumper if you the little clips molded into the bumper it will fit. Mines black and dirty if I can get better pics I will.

I bet it will fit without clips either it probably mounts on the lip and you can drill little holes in the lip and use little tywraps to hold it like I did on my 01 front valence...

To me it looks like the Suburban's is part of the bumper cover, but color matched.

Separate piece, not painted, textured black

thanks for the pics...as i thought, the rear bumper cover itself does differ...i could probably slot mine for the attachment, and may try since a new cover would be needed anyway.

i may also try a bedliner material and mimic the look at the lower body line on the suburban cover.

The return lip that turns in/under the existing bumper cover has little tabs on it but the extension is slotted with tabs that line up to bumper. The extension can still be set into the return lip and then underneath a few well placed holes and tywraps and you’ll never see them. At least I think so...

maybe if possible, give me a measurement of the bumper width (top to trim edge), it appears to me that the burb cover has the area molded in where as the yukon cover would have the trim as an add on...i would rather not place under my cover thus lowering the appearance. i just happen to like the appearance of the trim and how it gives the appearance of a higher vehicle from a distance, not to mention a slight paint edge protection.
