Yes but bumper brackets will be different. So you can get em from pa parts for about 100 for both sets or leave them down.

Just leave the back bumper in stock place and fill the gap with checker plate, that's what I did

The steering shaft extension is wrong. Just FYI. I had a 94 kit when I got my 2000. Ended up returning it and getting correct kit. Being the extension is the most expansive piece in the kit.

I'm doing that as soon as I have time, the ones that came in the kit are weak, either that or make a new tube bumper with a receiver built in, then I won't have the hitch hanging so low, I have to figure something out when I have time

Nothing wrong with the brackets I got with my kit. Honestly doesn't look good with it siting low like that.

I know, I also had a hard time getting the bolts on the back bumper off, they were rusted on pretty as and I ended up stripping the nut, I'm just looking for a whole new bumper, then I will add the brackets
