2011 Suburban Z71 Bumper Replacement Recommendations?
We have a white Z71 2011 Suburban that took a parking lot bump on the left rear bumper. Did mostly cosmetic damage. Looks like I can purchase an OEM bumper online for about $400 shipped to my house. This is cheaper than my $750 deductible my auto insurance company is going to charge me.
It looks fairly straight forward to replace myself. Any recommendations or tips for doing this right? I would hate to pay $400 and have it look like s*** when I'm done.
Thanks for any advice.

Ouch! did the rear sensors not give you a heads up that impact was imminent?
I would agree that its probably pretty straight forward just be mindful of the rear sensors when removing and installing so as not to stress the harness or connectors and I would try to get them all back into the same locations, not that it really matters...
