Default 08 Silverado Bumper adjustment?

I haven't had this truck long and its the first nnbs ive had. On both end caps there's a gap between them and the headlights/fender. Is there a way to loosen and adjust the brackets to move the ends up?

Yes you can! I do not have any actually photos of my truck but when I first got mine it was off in the opposite direction (the part closest to the tire was raised and actually was rubbing). Assuming yours has no damage (cosmetic or structural) you can sort of see the brackets and bolts that need to be fooled with here:

Truck Parts and Truck Accessories

The dotted box in the top center is the main attaching point to the frame and #34 on each side support the outer parts of the bumper. Loosen these, grab a friend and start adjusting. Most important thing is a 2nd person to hold the bumper where you need it while you tighten the hardware.

Hope this helps.

You basically loosen all the attaching bolts and move the bumper where you want it and tighten down. You may need to slot the mounting holes on the bumper brackets if you need more adjustment.
