Rear Bumper Brackets

[jasinger01]

So it sounds like I need to get the bumper approx 1-1.5" closer to the rear of the bed.

I'm thinking of slotting the existing bracket holes further towards the rear by about 0.5" to pull the bumper forward.

I am also unsure about my bed alignment. I worked it side to side to get it to line up with the cab, and I also remember tucking it up forward to have a nice gap to the cab. Maybe I pulled it too far forward?

My concern is, if pull the bed back, then I imagine I will also have to pull the cab and the rad support back as well to maintain my front end gaps.

Is there that much play in the mounting holes for the bed, cab, and rad support? Would like to accumulate ~1" in total. Thanks everyone for the help.
