Front bumper help needed
I removed the front bumper before the truck went to the body shop. After it came back, the bumper dont line up right. I'm at a loss as to why. I do not see where anything chould have changed. Its good on one side, but the other side is low & in (see pic). Anyone know whats going on, or how to fix it?

Re: Front bumper help needed
Did you have the bumper somewhere it could have been bent while off the truck? Or did the body shop somehow bend the bumper brackets?

Re: Front bumper help needed
Did you remove the brackets or just the bumper? Either way it sounds like the bracket needs adjustment. You can get a lot of leverage on the bracket to move it around. Also some of the holes are slotted.
Good luck - Bob

Re: Front bumper help needed
No. Not that I can see. The holes on the brackets still line up fine. One thing I considered is that the fender could be out of whack. They took that off in order to slavage the emblems. The body is straight, and lined up. So I have sort of ruled that out too.

Re: Front bumper help needed
Measure from a fender tip underneath to the frame, then center radiator support on frame. Shim radiator support as needed to get level with bumper. Shim bumper at front to get distance between grill and bumper equal. Even if they did not have support loose, it still may need to be centered.
