I am working on replacing the front bumper on a 2005 Tahoe LT from a minor fender bender. It was in a previous high impact front-end accident courtesy of my (at the time) high school daughter. It looks like the shop grinded the frame to take off the material that was bent / rounded. I purchased new brackets, but the tapped holes in the bracket do not line up with the holes in the frame. This job has been on the back burner, so unfortunately, I threw out the old brackets before I received the new ones. Yes, they are after-market brackets.
I would like to know if there was something I am missing with this before I start grinding. One side of the frame extends a little further out than the other. My next step is to see if I can find some OEM brackets and at least compare them to the ones I have.
I also attached a stock image of the type of bumper that is on the truck.
Thank you in advance!
