Default grill conversion

I got a 98f150 xlt 2wd with 6" fabtech lift and i was wondering if its possible to put a 99-03 grill on my truck preferably the lightning grill. The fenders and the hood are the same 97-03 just the grill and bumper are different 97-98. Is this possible?

I knew i would have to buy a bumper..but i was probably just gunna get a prerunner bumper fabbed..so the bezel wouldnt be problem fitting up i know that 03-06 chevy half tons often change 03-05 to 06 grill bezels. Since 97-03's have same fenders,hoods, and lights..why couldnt i? just making sure i dont spend money on something that wouldnt work

The mounting points and clips are the same. You can interchange these parts.

Use the search button....

and yes the mounts are different, but you just need to buy the updated brackets.
