Front Bumper Not Straight?

[Turbo Terry]

Yesterday i noticed the front bumper was hanging down about 3\4 to 1 inch lower on one side. I went and lifted. wiggled it up and down. Does not appear loose. Any body else having- Front Bumper Drop?

I hit a deer with mine last year and had to have the front bumper replaced. The service manager at the Dodge dealer was not satisfied with the way it hung after it was replaced and sent it out to a body shop to get it right. From what he said the things are kind of tough to get right, but it certainly can be done.

They're pretty easy to adjust; loosen up the brackets where they attach to the frame (fornt of each frame rail) and line it up. Easier with two people -- one person to hold it in place when you're tightening it down. Note there are also brackets on the outside corners you may need to loosen and adjust. Takes an 18mm socket.

I have to do this every time I take the plow frame on or off; I measure down from the bottom of the corner lights to get it equal on each side then have one of my boys hold it in place while I tighten the bolts.

My front bumper came crooked from the factory. you can put your thumb between the blinker and bumper on one side and can't get your pinky between the same on the other #ad
. but it is easy to adjust. my last truck had a crooked bumper when I got it. Just something else to deal with.

Mine was great until I installed the OEM fog lights. I messed with it a few times and finally gave up.

Things have a way of working out... .

My new tenant backed into the bumper and really messed up the alignment... #ad
But her 'Tracker' made out far worse than a simple bumper alignment.....

Mine did the same thing,took to dealer they loosened 6 bumper bolts and readjusted & good to go
