Default Space Between Bull Bar & Fender

Hello Guys,

any of you could share a picture of a 2008+ Dakota with a Bull Bar (westin style) to see the space to the fender?

I just installed mine yesterday (I brought the cheapest one from ebay), I followed the instructions on the bucklet but I'm not satisfied with how it looks from the side,

front looks ok:



pictures from side view:





My brother help me on the final adjustments so indeed he pushed the bull bar to the truck when I was tighten the bolts & nuts,

I notice that there is an additional hole (so maybe it can be used to push the bull bar further), but I did not tried because I ran out of sun light yesterday,





thoughts?

Regards!

The bull bar looks like it has a slight forward tilt. Mine is mounted up with the same holes, and doesn't have the forward slant. I don't think you could slide it rearward for different mounting holes anyway. Mine's an 06, but they should mount exactly the same with the front body frame bolts.

There was no tilt with my chrome bull bar either.
