Sports bumpers

I just took the step bumper off my 86 Silverado and installed a sport bumper. Sports bumper seems like its leaning down. Am I missing something? All the bolts and brackets are installed correctly.

Doesn't look like it's leaning down to me.

Re: Sports bumpers

Are those sport bumper brackets, or your original step brackets? They are different in case you didn't change the bracket to match the bumper.

Re: Sports bumpers

Something's not right.

This one has never been off (since it left the factory).

Re: Sports bumpers

I wonder if you have 73-80 brackets on there. Can you post a pic from underneath showing the brackets? Have you cross referenced your order from LMC to the parts you received to assure you have the right brackets for the bumper?

Re: Sports bumpers

There should also be some play in the bracket holes to the frame, allowing some adjustment.
