Front bumper gap question

[slammeddually]

I picked up an all smootie bumper for my truck. When i installed it there is about 1" of gap difference from the passengerside compared to the drivers side. This gap isnt up or down but rather in between the bumper and the lower grille. So the drivers side lines up perfect but the passengerside has a 1" gap between the bumper and the lower grille.

Does anyone know if the mounts are adjustable or what i can do about this?

I have the exact same problem, but with my stock bumper on 3" Body Lift relocation brackets, I think it's the way we put our bumpers on (back on), they are adjustable, but it doesn't seem like it does anything..

Mine has always fit wierd, I have had 3 bumpers on my truck, stock, chrome smoothie and now painted smoothie and they all fit closer on the passenger side.

You might be able to make it fit alittle better by oblonging the holes on the brakets and bumper and playing with it abit

Yeah, with enough tweaking it will fit pretty decent.

It's more of the outer brackets that is the problem I think, the inner just go from left to right, the outer kind of contradict the inners, if that makes any sense. Just to much going on.

Yeah mine is the same way. A local body shop said that they are adjustable to some degree just loosen both sides and try to push one side in and pull one side out. It probably won't fix it entirely but you should be able to get it close. At least according to them. I haven't tried it on mine yet.
