05 is in - crooked bumper and tow hook?

[HLewallen]

Hello all - I'm very excited about actually joining the TDR and taking delivery on my 05 1 ton QC SRW 4x4. I am picking it up later today from the dealer. Stopped by the dealer on Saturday night to see it (it is on display in front under a tent) and noticed the front bumper is drooping on the passenger side. The gap under the headlight is about 3/8s inch larger on that side. Also, the passenger tow hook is angled down ever so slightly compared to the driver side.



You guys had any fitment issues, or did someone do something stupid to bend something on my new truck? I am unfamiliar with the structure of the bumper, and don't know what could be bent to produce this.



Don't mean to brainstorm out loud, but I am looking for ideas/info before I go to the dealer this afternoon.



Thanks,

Heath

The brackets that secure the bumper and the towhooks to the frame probably need to be adjusted. there is quite a bit of play to align the bumper to the rest of the body.

Welcome Heath!

Congratulations on your new truck!

There is a wealth of knowledge to be found in these pages!

Thanks guys. I notified the dealer - hopefully it is just an alignment problem, and will be fixed when I get there.
