Was wiring bluetooth in my truck, and I noticed that there was more space between the headlights and bumper, and the grille and bumper, than there usually is. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I think I've heard of this happening before? Is this an issue?

i have the same problem on the passenger side

 

Mine has the same problem. I knew when I bought mine that it had been in a front end collision. I figured it was because of that. Interesting......

 

this was brought up in another thread. if you loosen off the screws on the inside of the wheel well where it attaches to the bumper. push up on it and retighten the bolts should suck it back up

 

hmmm i wonder why our trucks do this. Mine is the same way

 

You have to remove those screws in the wheel wells, the 2 clips on the bottom of the bumper by the license plate and take off the bumper cover.
With the bumper cover removed, loosen the bolts for the black bumper reinforcement, and take jacks to straighten the bumper. When I did mine, I used a small ruler to square the bumper up with the headlights. After tightening the bolts and removing the jacks, it was still a little off so I ended up having to do the procedure twice to get the reinforcement straight. After its straight, put your cover back on and it should be straight as well.

You will probably have to remove the cover though, as the screws in the wheel wells just hold the cover on, they dont do much for aligning it.

 

ok ok so i missed a few steps I have the 08 style I guess there where some changes to the way they where bolted together

 

Haha, we all knew what you meant .... atleast we will make you feel that way
lol

 

also in my defense I was trying to grocery shop for breakfast with a four yr old at the time I posted that lol

 

Mannn that sounds like a lot to do for such a small thing. Thanks rengnath
