Tailgate Rear Bumper Clearance

[Muscleford]

Does anybody's tailgate almost touch the black part of their rear bumper at the fender end? I went to the dealer body shop about it when my truck was still under the 3 yr bumper to bumper warranty. They said they were all that way or worse. I am kicking myself for not pursuing it further.

Now I want to get a tailgate lighter and think this is an issue.

They're all like this and someone pointed this out in a few other threads. It looks like there's barely enough room between the two for one to fit and still be able to lower the tailgate and not pinch the light bar. I have small fingers and can barely get my finger in there.
