For you guys that have done this conversion. Will the bumper brackets bolt up on my 01? I have the bumper ordered and guess now I need the brackets. Want to make sure it will all match up.
Sweet thanks for that. Would you happen to have a part number? I have found two different brackets. One is just a straight bracket and the other is two brackets.
I have a set sitting in a box at the shop, I can grab the part #'s for you if you are still interested. But, there is a total of four brackets....two that are long and skinny with about a 60* twist and two that are flat that bolt to the frame.
FYI-you really don't need the bumper brackets. The 05-07 bumper will bolt up directly on the front of the frame w/ a total of 4 5/8" bolts (I believe it what I put in there size) and the brackets on the side do mount to the frame but they are not needed by any means.
I do not have the side bumper brackets on my 06 bumper on my 2000 and i guarantee you my bumper isn't going anywhere! Now if I hit a deer it might bend a little more then if i had the brackets on each side for support.
06 front end was an easy swap, save yrself the headache buy a new header panel to put on yr new headlights & grill..any ? let me know
That is the one that I was looking at. Figured that was the kit I needed to bolt on the bumper.

Something like this? Just something I have found.
I would love to see how you made the brackets fit.
Dont forget to you'll need extra u-clips and bolts for the headlights (4 ea. per light) and the push pin connectors that snap the top pad and lower valance to bumper. The fogs need long bolts ,don't remember exact length ( 2 per. light ) to mount also.

That's the one thing I never got, and didn't realize I needed until the headlights were going in, those damn u clips for the top!
I bought a factory OEM ford 06 lariat bumper, I used the existing brackets for the front. I guess I misunderstood the OP didn't have bumper brackets to begin with
