Well, a truck this new should have bumper lift brackets and if the grill guard attaches to the same points as the bumper it will be fine, just don't expect it to be super strong since the lift brackets add a lot of leverage to the mounts.

I've got a 3" BL on my '00. I'm using a tube bumper from a full size and modifying it to fit. I ended up using some 3" square tube and some angle and mounted it on top of the chassis instead of on the sides. Strong as hell, takes a beating, and looks about as normal as my truck ever will

Here's an old pic of my truck with a 3" bl and a grill guard. I dont think it looks too bad or noticeable.
