Now you’ve done it… We are all going to go look at our back bumpers and be unhappy with what we find. Now we can’t un-see it lol.
Trust me, I wish I hadn't noticed it.

As soon as I adjust mine Ill have to adjust the exhaust too which will undoubtedly lead to adjusting something else...

If there's not enough adjustment room in the bolt holes, you can always stack a couple of washers to help level it out. I had to do this with my chinese front bumper to make it set level, no big deal.

Also, this may be obvious to most people, but if you have a body lift, you are going to get a gap between your bumper and the body - just part of the deal with body lifts.

Interesting observation!

I too have about a 3/4 inch gap, and used that gap to help me get my fingers in there to add some tape to the wire bundles, and along the edge of the bumper cap, that wear through in a while causing odd electrical shorts :sadface:

And yes, I did just run down to the garage to look at mine closer!!! hahahah! can't unsee it either.

Well I just had to check mine and obviously mine was assembled on a Wednesday because both sides are exactly even at about 1/2".

It’s a truck. Agree that the gap should be close to the same on both sides but if you don’t want a gap, buy a car.
