Bumper Gap.....
 
1 Attachment(s)
Is there a way I can raise the bumper to tighten up the gap space in between tailgate, and bumper?? I've looked under neath and seen the bolt mount to the frame, but what would have to be done???

Can't go up much, tailgate still needs to open and not hit when dropped down all the way. There isn't much of a gap there anyhow. If you are doing this for looks...you might want to look for a nicer bumper first. :)

Yeah i forgot about the tailgate clearance, chrome bumper is probably taller, i just noticed on other trucks that are same as mine the gap is not there.

I made my own bumper-bracket/hidden-hitch, and tucked the bumper as close to the body and as close to the open tailgate as I dared....
