Default Quastion: removing an after market bumper,
Guys

Just wondering,
for those with an after market bumper already installed, will they need to drill new holes to install another bumper by a different manufacture? say from MOPAR to LoD.

Shrockworks also uses factory holes, although I had to make one of them a bit larger with the dremel tool. I suggest trying the aftermarket bolts in all the holes before you put the bumper on. Don't ask me why I know...

My Olympic bolts straight to the existing 8 bolt holes used to secure the stock bumper.
