How to reduce this Front Bumper Gap & Tailgate Bumper Rub (pics)

Attached are two pics (front bumper and tailgate)

The front bumper clearly has a gap. Can that be adjusted? If so, how?


In addition, the tailgate when opened rubs against the top of the rear bumper, creating a bit of a black rub mark (hard to see in pics).


Can the front and rear bumpers be adjusted to reduce/increase the gaps?

 

Id take the tail gate off and trim the plastic little by litte



The front Bumper has two bolts on each side in the bumper brackets goin gto the frame that you can loosen and adjust your bumper as you see fit.

 

This is golden information. I've been staring at my front bumper in disgust for weeks now. If only I knew it were that easy. Also that wasn't too lazy to just crawl under and look...

 

Yes, there is enough play in the mounting holes to get the adjustment you are looking for. I installed replacement front and rear bumpers and was able to get the gaps just they way they should be with little effort.

 

Super easy to do.

 

there are 2 large bolts that go through the front of the bumper mount into the front of the end of the frame that might have to be loosened to allow for adjusting.

 

Thanks doods, I'll crawl under there this weekend when I do my front/rear/transfer case/tranny gear oil change.
