How to Choose a Bumper for Your 2015-2019 Chevy Silverado 2500/3500
Steel grade and gauge are your first decision on the 2015-2019 Chevy Silverado 2500/3500 HD. Three picks across the price spectrum.

Hand-fabricated 7-gauge American steel from Hammerhead 600-56-0276 Front Winch Bumper, mid-tier at $1,934.10. Hammerhead is built by Hol-Mac Corporation, a Mississippi steel fabricator since 1963. 207 lbs, black textured powder coat, integrated winch tray accommodating up to a 16.5K winch. Fits 2500/3500 HD across the full 2015-2019 run.

What Fits Your 2015-2019 Chevy Silverado 2500/3500
Bumpers cover the 3rd-gen Chevy Silverado 2500/3500 HD on the GMT K2XX III platform, 2015 through 2019. The 2017 L5P Duramax added a functional hood scoop; front bumper mounting did not change within the gen. Verify your model year in each listing.
Front and Rear Park Assist (UD7) was an optional package on K2XX HD, not standard. Cutouts vary by SKU; the Hammerhead 600-56-0276 retains factory front sensor provisions, while full-grille-guard styles often relocate or omit them. Check each listing for sensor compatibility.
These bumpers fit 2015-2019 only. The predecessor GMT900 HD (2007-2014) used different frame mounts and front fascia. The 2020+ T1XX HD redesign added a 5.2-inch longer Crew Cab wheelbase and new headlight cutouts. From what we have seen, neither GMT900 nor T1XX bumpers bolt onto a K2XX HD truck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are 2007-2014 GMT900 HD bumpers interchangeable with 2015-2019 Chevy Silverado 2500/3500?
No. The 2015 redesign launched the K2XX III HD platform with new frame rails, headlight cutouts, and front fascia geometry. GMT900 (2007-2014) bumpers do not fit. Within K2XX HD, 2015-2019 fronts and rears interchange across the run. Verify the year in each listing before ordering.
Will my factory parking sensors still work with a 2015-2019 Chevy Silverado 2500/3500 HD aftermarket bumper?
Some SKUs ship with pre-drilled cutouts for the factory Front and Rear Park Assist (UD7) sensors. The Hammerhead 600-56-0276 retains front sensor provisions. Other styles, especially Fab Fours Premium and Grumper full-guard fronts, relocate or omit them. Each listing specifies whether sensors are retained, relocated, or removed.
Will the extra weight cause my 2015-2019 Chevy Silverado 2500/3500 front end to sag, and do I need a leveling kit?
Front bumpers on this page range from 77 lbs (Westin Pro-Mod) to 325 lbs (Fab Fours Premium Winch). HD trucks ride on heavier front coils than the 1500, so most owners see little nose drop at the lighter end. Builds over 250 lbs often pair well with a leveling kit.
