so i was working out in the shop and my mind got to wondering. but anyways, does any body know if its possible to put a 09-10 front end on a 04-08 body style. i think it'll look badass and who knows, maybe all itd take is drilling a few holes here and there. but if anyone has any input lemme hear it cause im startin to consider it!

 

Yes its possible...there was a truck on here that was lowered with an 09-10 front end

 

Someone has done it ill see if I can find the pic later

 

I think the 09+ front ends look goofy on the 09+ trucks, looks out of place compared to the rest of the truck. The 04-08 front end is the classiest looking front clip ever made IMO, but I am biased.

 

X2 imo

 

The other this you really couldnt do the swap because your front fenders would have a different body line than the bed now if you have the step side bed the front fenders would match up.

X4. I bought my 08 new in September of 08 and the 09s were just about to come out I think. Once they came out, I was glad I got mine because I didn't like the new style. They have grown on me a little bit but the 04-08 front ends are definitely better looking.

 

Add another to the 04-08 fans, I personally think they look way better. Like Stealth said, the 09+ are kinda goofy looking. They're a little too bulky.

 

04-08! I only like the new front end on the raptor. And its different because the fenders are extended and stuff like that.

Keep it the same!

 

i like the 04-08s too but that lowered flareside looked pretty good too and my truck is a flare side. but still, he prolly had to drop some coin on all that plus paint and my truck isnt lowered so it probably would look goofy. i think ill just get a black billet if i need a lil change. lol

 

you should do it.

the swap on that truck was very easy and he got a really good deal on the fenders/hood/grille.

he paid very little for it out of pocket and it looks good!

 

did he just go to a salvage or ebay or what? and i might do once i stack up some money and get the whole front end and have the entire truck painted at one time

 

You'll have to get a bed also unless your ok with different bodlylines on the fenders
