Ok this is for anyone whos put there OEM hitch on... As you know last yr this time I was rearended with the truck. Well all has been fixed and looks great, but after having it a year it seems like the bumper and hitch are tilted towards the rear. It just catches my eyes wrong... My question for you guys is, does the hitch/bumber assembly have slotted holes where I can readjust this? Both are tilted the exact same which leads me to think they are, or they both were installed incorrectly. I havent crawled under the truck to actually look yet, figured I would ask you all, and if all else fails crawl under there myself. I have briefly looked at the brackets in the manual but I cant see where they are slotted and there are not notes of whether they are slotted or not... Let me know Thx

OOOOOK, since no one could answer this I went ahead and did it all by myself, yes that makes me a "big boy" if you want to be a smart ass. Well the bolt holes are not slotted, BUT, they are enlarged a bit which allowed the adjustment I was seeking. All I used was a 13/16 socket w/ratchet, a floor jack and some muscle. The bolts weren't frozen at all. Surprisingly they were not as tight as I expected. I loosened the bolts up, jacked the jack and put it to the extreme range that the whole assembly could make, which is where it looked correct and level. I then tightened the bolts to a much tighter torque than what they were at originally. Next time someone asks, now you know. So all is good in the neighborhood...
