Demello fr. bumper - any changes for 2010?

I found a used Demello bumper from a 2007 that I'm considering for my 2010...yeah, I know. I've had my truck one day and I'm already considering mods to it! Does anyone know if:

1. The bumper will fit, and
2. if the stock springs can support the extra weight w/out too much sag?

I did search, and the answers to # 2 seem to be mixed between "go for it" and "wait till you have different springs/lift". I was originally planning to wait for the lift first, but a friend passed along the bumper info to me, and I'm tempted to jump on it...

BTW, I haven't asked Demello yet...this all started this afternoon, and I haven't called yet, but I will tomorrow!

Thx!

there is a post on here that shows the washer fluid resi is too low on the 2010and you have to relocate it. It was an army green, just did a quick search but didn't find it. Didnt look like a big deal. Go for it!

the 2010's are new enough they will probably still stump even the most seasoned vets on here. I bet Jason knows already or can find out pretty quick for you.

I've heard that on the 2010 FJ the Turbo pre-injector cooling adapter plate needs an extra shot of WD40 before installation of any aftermarket part, especially prior to adding an aftermarket bumper.

We haven't installed one on a 2010 FJ yet but I have heard about the resivor dealio. I would move it if it was me.
The frame mounts should be the same but I won't know for sure till we install one.

That's true, except for the green ones. They have the re-designed Flotney Rod, which allows the bumpers...
