08 vs 11-13 front bumper questions

I picked up an 08 3500 with an aftermarket front bumper on it. I posted on craigslist for a trade as I want stock. Guy sent me pics of his 12 2500 and I noticed it was slightly different than what I was expecting.

whipped out the lmc aftermarket book for reference. Confirmed all that is different. So question, if I am taking it all off at the front frame rails, will it all still bolt over? bumper, brackets, cap, airdam, etc.

The bumpers are different... 2011 uses a different frame than the 08 does... brackets are different...

I was able to make the 12 bumper bumper fit on my 08. It appears the frame rails are about 1/4 difference in width.
