bumper trouble
i got in a wreck about 3 monthes ago, ever since i got it fixed at the dealership that i bought it at, the front bumper is a little lower than it should be. i think that the bumper frame is still bent, and they didnt replace it. or could it be that it isnt bent, and its possible for me to lift it back up..sorry i dotn have pics ..

no it wont be an issue, thed probably never even tell the diffrence...
but it may not be that simple... the prevous owner of my truck got in an accedent on the front driverside and now i cant get rid of the gap there because A) the braket is bent or B) the braket has moved down, becasue ive done the bumper mod and my passenger side is all the way up (a finger sized gap and my driverside is at 2 fingers...
so in other words, try the bumper mod and see if taht helps, if not you probably have the same problem as me...

if your bumper is bent i'd recommend putting a piece of wood on a jack and then put a folded up piece of cloth. Then jack your truck up from the bumper at the corners! If there's a spot that is. You might need to remove the valence.
By teh way, the above plan can screw up. But most likely it'll work.
I assume no responsibility for your f up.
