How to adjust rear bumper?

Looks like the driver side bumper edge is closer (less gap) that the passenger side bumper edge. Also, it looks like the black plastic to top does not look to be level on each side as I am seeing rubbing/scratch marks at the very bottom of my tailgate due to opening. I wasn't sure if there was an easy way to push/pull the bumper and possibly adjust the tilt of it as well to lower it to prevent future bottom tailgate contact. TIA!

 

llRC, the OEM bumper is held on by either four or six bolts. Its brackets are attached to the ends of the frame rails. There should be a tiny amount of adjustment to get it level if you loosen all the bolts a little bit to move it into the position you want.

 

I will also mention that you can loosen all bolts and the bumper won't fall. There is a notch that prevents this. So go nuts by yourself with no PPE, alone in a closed garage

 

lol... thanks! I'll undo the rear bumper bolts and see if I can line up my rear bumper gaps a little better.

 

Depending on how perfect it needs to be you might need to grind out the holes to get the final adjustment you need.

 

Makes sense... thanks for that tip, Bivouac!
