grill bumper swap
Sooooooo did a grill and bumper swap for a guy. everything went as planned, but that bumper took lots of shims. Now is that because of poor made parts, bent tweeked frame or just a combo of both?

Re: grill bumper swap
Im curious as to the length of those two bumper brackets. The previous owner of my pickup mounted an aftermarket chrome bumper and currently only one of those brackets are being used. I'm missing one. The other day I went to a junk yard and pulled the missing part I needed. To my surprise, when I attempted to mounted it, I found out that it was two short (around an inch). The stock part from the junk yard is shorter than the mount currently in use. Im wondering if the brackets your using are the short versions I recently found, which caused you to have to shim it up. Did you use the shims on the frame end or on the bumper end?
