I have a 2013 Avalanche but I miss the steps on the rear bumper my 2002 avy had.  I see the 2015 and newer Colorados and Siverados have the rear bumper steps I am wanting.  Has any one made the switch and if so how difficult was it to do?
 
yah my 2013 doesn't have the steps in the bumper...  it's a shame they took that well used feature away :-(
 
You and me both.  Post up if you find out anything.  I have doubts if the newer Silverado and Colorado bumpers will fit.  My best bet is to find an aftermarket bumper.  Problem there is that very few companies make an avalanche bumper, and nobody with steps besides Move.  Buckstop told me they have no interest in adding steps to their bumpers.  Hammerhead has ones that fit Tahoes, which have similar bumpers, but said they will not make a front bumper for our trucks because installation requires cutting the grille from the bumper.
 
Bodyguard Armor makes a pretty nice Front bumper that will fit our trucks. They make a rear bumper 'with steps and such for the Silverado. I've let them know there's interest in bumpers for Avalanches. It looks like it would take only a little modification to the design to make an Avalanche version. Pretty sure the bumpers would be cross compatible with the following:

2000-2006 Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon+XL, Escalade+ESV+EXT
2003-2006 Avalanche WBH
2007-2013 Avalanche

That's 60 total model/year combinations. Hundreds of thousands of which are still on the road.
