Rear sport bumper install - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bigbadchev72 · 02-07-2018, 08:01 PM

I just bought the rear sport bumper kit with brackets and was needing pics of how they are installed. Looks like I will only be able to get 1 bolt in each side? Is that correct? Also how do the dust shields install? Thanks

I typed it slower that time, Hope it makes sense. Hahaha.

Cliff notes: I need pics of an installed sport bumper

I don't get it. The original bumper mounts to brackets in four spots, one per bracket. If yours are different, a picture might help.

On a Blazer, the inner bolts go through the back of the frame. Only the side bolts have the bracket and I think it does just have 1 bolt per side? The chassis I have in my driveway right now has a welded on bumper from some jackass so that won't help and I can't get to the back of my Jimmy right now because of so many parts from the project stacked behind it.

try the pictues/diagrams in the lmc catalog. they cover truck and subirbans but the parts are labelled by the model in the parts lists.

if you look at the inset in the top right corner of the rear bumper section on that page you will see how your suburban frame rails end as the inner bumper mount points, and the angle brackets to the outer holes.

It does not appear that the "dust shields," parts #16, 17 or 18, apply to the suburbans.

Let me say first off I know little about your year of Blazer, but since everyone is mentioning Suburbans here is a photo of my Burban with the bumper off and the right side outer bracket missing. I have circled the left side bracket. With the two brackets and the tabs on the frame there are four points to bolt the bumper to the frame. I hope this helps.

I recently shortened my truck as well. The holes that I was suppose to make were already there, which was surprising. I haven't installed a bumper yet though.

This is after 8" was taken off the back:

I started the Blazer "fake news" because that was the picture in his avatar. As noted it is helpful to know what he is working on now!
