Front and rear bumper vertical alignment

[MaverickMan]

It can actually be adjusted from behind the wheel, but you have to wait for winter till they pile up snow piles in the corners of parking lots. Then just pick your side and hit it. Thats how I used to straighten my old CJ frames and gear shifters after hard wheeling.

Early Broncos lean to the left, maybe they are just staying true to the original.

My left is a tad lower than the right. My owners manual showed no adjustment. I was told to embrace it.

Here is my front bumper, for example. You can see that the right (driver's) side sits slightly lower than the left. Hoping it's an easy adjustment! My rear bumper has the same issue.

Like I said, I've noticed the same to varying degrees in MANY Instagram and forum owners' posts, particularly with the HD bumpers. Don't hold me responsible if you go inspect yours and find similar when maybe you hadn't noticed it before now !

Not an issue.

Looks like it's just the 6 bolts in pink.

Rear....

Did anyone try to adjust rear bumper?

From the picture the this is for horizontal adjustment instead of bring it up or down?

Do you need 2 person for this?

Not much adjustment built in unless you slot holes. Best way to do is with two but can be done if you loosen bolts just enough where it moves with some force but not enough where it flops around. If its way off you may have something bent.

My rear bumper (Bigbend 4dr) bumper was hanging lower on the passenger side than the driver side.
I was able to loosen the bolt on the right side curved slot...raise the bumper with a tall enough floor jack, retighten bolt and it is now level. The bolt was easy to loosen so assume that was the problem.

I tried with just my knees hold the bumper and loosen up all 5 screws. But could not make any much different.

The gap is now slightly less than 1 inch on passenger side but on driver side is 1/2 inch.

What is your gap after you adjusted?

Do you have a breakdown of the rear steel bumper? I'm trying to remove the end caps.
