I had the misfortune of having my rear bumper tapped in a parking lot. Consequently, the right side of the bumper is pushed in, resulting no gap between the bumper and the bed body.

QUESTION: is the rear bumper adjustable if I loosen the three bolts from the underside of the bumper from each side?

Thanks in advance!

Dont know answer. But, I have used weathertech bump steps for years. It has saved my bumper on many occasions.

If i recall correctly from when I installed my OEM tow hitch, you should be able to get some adjustment out of loosening those bolts.

It’s possible that the bumper structure is tweaked a bit. There might be enough slack in the mounting bolts to make it straight.

us old timers would use a Chain and a Tree!
you might also be able to put an RC aftermarket bumper on there cheaper than a factory one?

you can loosen the hardware and get a small amount of play but it will be very little. most likely not enough to make the tweek you need.
