How to Choose a Bumper for Your 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado 1500
Steel grade and gauge are your first decision on a 2nd-gen Silverado 1500.
Most affordable: Steelcraft 70-10320 Front Bumper at $1,320. Steelcraft pioneered e-coat in the aftermarket bumper category. Flat steel, 219 lbs, two-stage e-coat plus black powder coat finish. Bolt-on replacement for the full 2007-2013 GMT900 run, no-guard low-profile face.
Mid-tier: Ranch Hand FSC08HBL1 Summit Front Bumper at $1,745. Ranch Hand uprights run 25% thicker, pipe 90% thicker than competitors. Diamond-plate steel, 180 lbs, black powder coat. Fits 2007.5-2013 GMT900 NBS only; the 2007 Classic GMT800 uses different mounts.
Fab Fours is the fourth largest aftermarket bumper manufacturer worldwide. Top-tier: Fab Fours CS07-D2052-1 Vengeance Front Bumper at $2,570. 11-gauge US steel, 150 lbs, 2-stage black powder coat. Fits 2007-2013 across the GMT900 run, integrated full-guard with light-bar provisions.

What Fits Your 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado 1500
Bumpers on this page cover the 2nd-gen Chevy Silverado 1500 GMT900 platform, MY2007.5 through 2013. The 2007 model year ran two body styles: the 2007 Classic carryover (4th-gen GMT800) and the GMT900 NBS. No mid-cycle facelift across the run.
If your truck has factory rear Park Assist, check rear SKUs for sensor-cutout option or adapter kit. Most 2007-2013 trucks ran rear-only Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist from the factory; front sensors were rare and typically retrofit.
Note: the 2007 Classic uses 4th-gen GMT800 bumper SKUs, not GMT900 parts. From what we've seen, customers shopping for a 2007 Classic sometimes order GMT900 bumpers by mistake; confirm body style by VIN before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are bumpers interchangeable between the 2007 Classic and 2007.5-2013 Silverado 1500?
No. The 2007 model year shipped two body styles. The 2007 Classic was the 4th-gen GMT800 carryover with the older bumper mounts; the 2007.5-2013 NBS uses GMT900 mounts. Front and rear bumpers do not interchange between the two body styles. Verify your VIN or build date before ordering.
Will an aftermarket bumper retain rear Park Assist sensors on a 2007-2013 Silverado 1500?
Some rear bumpers come with pre-drilled cutouts for the factory Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist sensors. Others require relocation brackets or do not retain sensor provisions. Most 2007-2013 trucks did not have front sensors from the factory; check each product listing for rear sensor compatibility before ordering.
Will a heavy steel bumper affect the suspension on a 2007-2013 Silverado 1500?
Front bumpers on this page range from 125 lbs (Fab Fours Vengeance) to 340 lbs (Road Armor 37702B). Added front weight versus a stock plastic bumper can cause nose sag on the GMT900 coil-over front. Some owners install a leveling kit or stiffer coils. Bolt-on, no body modification.
