Rear bumper help
I bought a new bumper and new brackets from lmc. When I installed the bumper it don't look right. I've tried reversing the brackets, the only way I can make it look straight is to shim it. The top pic is no shim. Should the license plate holder be straight vertical or slanted. Thanks

Re: Rear bumper help
I'm thinking shimmed looks better. But that Lou Ana and Cajun Injector oil change will make your truck smell funny when you're driving down the street.

Re: Rear bumper help
Should be vertical. I would double check your LMC part #'s. Maybe by mistake they shipped you the fleetside parts instead of step-side?

Re: Rear bumper help
I got the brackets on the right way. All the brackets I've seen has holes in the top. And I'm assuming that is the correct way.
