Quick Question about Edge bumpers.

#8
Well, found out yesterday that the XLT 4x4 bumper (and all Edge bumpers) w/ Valance are made to kind of stick out around the edge of the bumper so that the bumper lines up with the fender flares the truck has. Well, since my truck doesnt have fender flares, the bumper sticks out about an ince, maybe a tad more, on each side. keke.
For those that dont know this and plan to put edge bumpers on their XLT, just thought you should know =)

I think I remember someone managed to use a frame puller table to bend them in slightly to line up better. But unless you've got a good friend at a body shop..

Atleast that is what he says. I will go look at it sometime next week.

As for the bumper itself, it is actually a bumper from an XLT 4x4. He didnt know the day i posted that and i didnt either. I found out later what it was off of.

I always wondered why my edge bumper sticks out like that on the edges... I always thought something looked wrong or out of freaking place!
So there is no way to fix this without getting the Flares? I have 2.3L XLT with the power dome hood, honeycomb grill and the edge bumper..
I never took the bumper off but you thinking trimming something would help?
I will take pictures and post up shortly when it's light out.
