Can I fit a 98 4wd valence panel on a 98 2wd bumper?

 

nope

 

no, you would have to go find a 4wd bumper. but it will be an easy swap, as compared to the 98 to a 99 front end conversion

 

will the 4wd 98 bumper fit as a replacement on my 98 2wd?

 

will the 4wd 98 bumper fit as a replacement on my 98 2wd?

 

yes. but i believe you will also need the 4wd bumper brackets.

 

well there is a brush guard that i found that mounts to the frame that i want but i don't want it to look weird if i have to mount it through the 2wd valence.

 

Do you have a pic of the brush guard? it may only work on the 4wd bumper. ive found that they dont make too many guards for the 97-98 2wd bumper.

depending on the price it may just be easier to get the 4wd bumper. theres a guy in houston selling the bumper, valance, switch and fog lights with wiring for around 200 i think. so depending on what you want to spend it may just be the easiest option

 

go to wooddashexperts.com and select ford; grille guards; 98

its the brand black horse right under the westin sportsman series. click the black picture.

 

idk man it doesnt give any information on which bumper it fits or any pics of the actual piece. i couldnt find it on google either even on the blackhorse website

edit: found it on the site. id call them first to make sure it fits the 2wd bumper. it looks like it would. on the blackhorse website go to push bumper, ford, then at the top pic expedition. the 97-98 had the same front bumpers id call first before ordering

 

well i looked at your truck and im about to get the exact same tire size and tire. i put the rough country springs on mine and it brought the front end from 2 in lower to 2 in higher so i put 2 in blocks. its gonna look good. i want to put something to put on the front end though.
i like what you have done with your truck. it looks good

 

thanks man. i just edited my last post cuz if found it on the site. id just call first but otherwise look forward to seeing some pics if you get it

 

where can i find the light bar you put on? is that bolted straight on the bumper?

 

Its the n-fab pre-runner light bar for the 99-03 f150. it mounts straight to the bumper and is surprisingly strong. they dont have any applications for the 97-98 2wd trucks but they know about installs for them. they said since there are only 2 yrs of that bumper that they probably wont make an application to fit but you can make it work.

 

on the wood dash site, when you choose which color brush guard you want, you either pick 99-03 or 97-98 so i think it is supposed to fit
