Default 1997 Front Bumper
I have a 1997 Lariat and was wondering if there's a smaller front bumper that fits onto the truck.

Why do you want a smaller bumper? Just curious for your reasoning.

What do you mean smaller ? 99+ there isn't as much steel.

You could take off the plastic spoiler thing and it is a couple inches shorter.

Glad you got a kick out of that. It just looks ugly that big, and I know the 99s+ are smaller but are they able to fit onto the older ones?

Just looks ugly that big. Basically main point of me asking is to see if the 99+ model bumpers are able to fit onto the 97-98s

Yes. People do it all the time. If you're going to swap the bumper, you're better off doing the whole front end swap.

Great. Could you possibly post a link of what it looks like or where to get one or anything?
