Default NNBS GMC front bumper alignment

Just seeing if you guys with the NNBS GMCs had any problem with the front bumper being lined up with the bumper cap?

this pic you can see that the gap looks the same where the top of the bumper meets the bumper cap



see where the back half of the bumper looks a little lower?



pics arnt the greatest, waiting till it stops raining to take better pics...am I just being picky?

i have noticed this. mine looks like the bumper got pushed back and rolled under. passenger side is fine. driver side has almost no gap. my bosses 2500 is the reverse of mine.

If you look under bumper area you can see the brackets that support the sides of the bumper...back the bolts out a bit and move bumper to where you want it and then tighten bolts back up. I had to do mine as well (not much-if you click on link to my (crappy) truck page you can see drivers side is lower on aft corner slightly in 2nd pic, its perfect now).

You might need a helper, or might not .

I think you're being fussy and I think you have a right to be. Adjust it or it will drive you nuts...

So GM has bumpers mis-aligned side to side on the same vehicle for access to a headlight bolt?
