Hey Guys, I Had An Incident With Towing A Trailer Where The Trailer Pulled Up On The Hitch Ball Mounted On The Stock Bumper. There Is Now A Slightly Larger Gap At The Bottom Of Where It Meets The Side, Than At The Top (just A Matter Of An Inch Or Two). In Other Words, The Bumper Is Going Down Hill, When The Rest Of The Truck Is Level. Can I Just Adjust This, Or Is It More Complex Than That? Thanks For Your Help!

You can try to adjust the brackets that hold the rear bumper on, they should have bolt slots and you could always enlarge the slots.

Though the brackets may be bent and you may need new ones.

Either way it's fairly easy to do, just some bolts. Good luck!
 






Thanks Alec, It Looked Like There Were Just A Couple Of Bolts On Each Side. I Didnt Know If There Were Slots Or Not.
 






Why Do You Capitalize The First Letter In Each Word?

Edit: Also, to fix your bumper just use some washers inbetween the bumper and the brackets (you'll understand whenever you take it off)... some mother f#)(*er borrowed my car w/out my knowing one time and backed up into a pole... put the bumper at a nice angle and bent the braces. Put some washers in there and it pretty much fixed it.
 






Maybe it is a title ?
( a very long title )
 






I once typed up a long 2-page letter to my gf using the same capitalized-first-letter. It was quite fun and cool at the time. :shrug:

I haven't looked under there on mine yet but isn't there an L-shape bracket that get bent when you get rear ended?
 






actually he didnt capitalize every word. The word "just" isnt capitalized. ;)
