Suburban/ Yukon XL 2500 Bull Bar

[ackbard]

I have tried 2 different bull bars that were suppose to fit a Suburban 2500 but did not. Anyone have a 2500 with a bull bar that they would recommend? Brian

Go Rhino 3161
3161C - chrome
3161B - black

Been discontinued, so totally hit or miss. I bought the last one directly from GoRhino, the C model. Hit it with four coats of Plastidip black before I assembled it.

Easy bolt-on installation, still get to keep the tow hooks.

Dude those headlights are beautiful. How are they holding up?

Thanks. They're working well. I don't drive her a lot at night, so not a ton of wheel time with them. But I adore the fog lights. Incredible light output.

Unfortunately, I had to buy a new set of headlights, my lovely bride decided to play GTA in a construction zone.

On the humorous side, now it looks like I PITed a white car.

Keep it like that for a while...... People will think, " You don't take prisoners "

I have a 2005 and a 2015 Suburban, the 2015 being a PPV, and I have / had SETINA bars on the front of both of them. The SETINA bar is exactly what the local law enforcement use. Your best bet is to contact the bar manufacturer and ask them to tell you which mounting kit is required for your bar onto which year and model truck. The bar mounting kit on my 2005 would not fit on my 2015, so I had to get a different mounting kit ( huge difference on the mounting parts and hardware, totally different), but the same bar fits perfectly now on my 2015 Suburban PPV. Good luck !!!

I concur on the headlights and have been considering these for my black 2500.

But do you have links for the fog lights?

SS3 max. Fantastic lights. On a scale of 1-10? I give them a 15. Seriously.

I made a thread with pictures when I bought them last year..

My hefty lighting investment - worth it - Alpharex and Diode Dynamics

Did a bunch of research on headlight and foglight options, and settled on the "buy once, cry once" philosophy. I cried. A lot. o_O Settled on the Alpharex NOVA series LED projector headlights. Click here And went with the Diode Dynamics SS3 Max LED fog lights. Click here I wanted quality...

I’m gonna revive this thread for a moment. I have a 2008 Yukon XL 2500. Can anyone confirm that this will fit my vehicle (3161B)? I found one but it doesn’t say anything about fitting my model, which is often the case, I find. Thanks for any help you can provide!!!

Yes, it should fit. The frame/tow hooks are identical between the Suburban and Yukon XL. The one thing I'm not sure about is the upper support brackets that bolt to the upper radiator fascia(?). They don't really do much, as they bolt to a plastic piece, but I'm not sure if the hood line of the Yukon is the same as the Suburban. Wouldn't be a big deal if they don't attach.

Thanks a bunch! I don’t think that top part is needed either. Some don’t even come with that. Turns out the one I found was part number 3160B, not 3161B, so my quest continues.

Web sites are saying that the GoRhino part number 3160B fits the Suburban, so I’m a little confused. Anyone have input on this.

If 3161B fits the Suburban and Yukon XL, then would the 3160B work? Or is the 1500 and 2500 different up front?

Thanks again for the input on this!

The 1500 and 2500 are different. 3161 is what you want. I can confirm 100% - that's what I have on mine, and even doublechecked the order confirmation email from when I bought it back in 2022.

Thanks! Thats what I’ll look for. Not having much luck finding it. Maybe a used one will pop up somewhere.

I have that same bar on my Escalade and it works awesome for mounting all types of lighting that I am testing and plus I love how it looks.
