Replacing front bumper?

Ok guys I've seen numerous trucks with the front bumper pushed about 5inches back and slant downward about 3inches after a collision. What parts are needed to fix this?

Re: Replacing front bumper?

You will need the bumper bar, both inner brackets, both outer braces (from outer brackets to radiator support mount brackets), and possibly both outer brackets. The plastic bumper fillers and headlamp mount panels may need to be replaced as well. Usually when the bumper goes back like that, it will miss the radiator support (or just nick the bottom).

Accessing it is not too bad- pull out the grille, and there are two bolts that go through the inner brackets and hold it to the frame. That should pull the bumper off.
