greetings and salutations tyf comrades...i have utilized the search feature to the best of my abilities on this subject and have come up with zilch...
question is:
are the rear bumpers on a tahoe the same as a suburban? specifically the mounting bolt locations...

i was under the impression that all suburban/tahoe/yukon bumpers were interchangeable.although i have since learned that the p/u bumpers are slightly longer than the suv&stepside bumpers.
im looking for a primer/paintable rear bumper for a 99 hoe without the holes for the impact strip.found one on ebay that fits a 99 burban but the compatibility gizmo and the seller say it will not fit my tahoe.(i was hoping it said it was incompatible only because the bumper is primer and the oem tahoe one is chrome?)...thanks in advance for any help or input provided

this one says it does fit.same p/n as the bumper above

Pretty sure the bumpers are the same. Was looking through the lmc catalog and its same part numbers for chev/ gmc (tahoe, yukon and suburban)

so i got the bumpers.front one from LMC,primed,z71fog light holes. rear from ebay primed.both without impact strip holes...had them painted and i bolted them up this weekend.the lmc bumper needed a little encouragement with a pry bar to get it mounted, some mounting holes didnt line up perfectly, had to enlarge/relocate a few.rear went on without a problem.it is about 1/4 inch smaller than the oem one though, making the step pad overhang the entire top lip of the bumper(guess i have to get a new pad)...now i just need to find the fog lights for the z71/limited bumper.
