I bought a used 2010 Rancher 420 a couple weeks ago. Noticed when looking at it before buying that the front bumper was bent a little and the plastic cover was cracked up the middle. I wasn’t worried about it then because the bumper covers cracking seems to be a common occurrence, and a new cover would hide the dents in the bumper. It on the trailer on the way home I noticed that the front plastic seemed to be tilted a little, and while it hurts nothing it bugs me when I see it. After checking it over a bit more today I noticed that the bumper is bent a little more than I thought and that their is a strut that supports the front plastic and headlight that is bent back and up. Like I said it hurts nothing, but I’m going to be a bit anal about it and its going to get fixed.

I’ve seen a few used bumpers for 07-08 models, but none for the 09+ yet. I’ve seen that their is a part number change for 2009 and later, which from my understanding has to do with a rear frame change to support the IRS. If I have to buy new I can find the 07-08 bumper for a good bit less than the 09+ part. Am I correct in thinking that the front of the frame the same where the bumper connects? Can I install an 07-08 bumper on a 2010 frame?

This is the piece I’m taking about:

From looking at aftermarket parts support and eyeballing pictures of the parts I think I know the answer to what I’m asking, but want the confirmation.
