My new 2013 FX frot bumper seems to be sagging just a bit, you can the the sagging gap on each side of the bumper. Has anyone had a issue. With there's and what's the fix besides going back to the dealer and get the run around ?

Mine was high on the right side. I adjusted it in about ten minutes.

More about how you made the adjustment ? I take it was at the bumper supports also did you make the adjustment under the truck or with the hood up and just reach back ?

Under the truck, 4 bolts hold it in place. Just loosen them, adjust it to where you want it, and re-tighten.

Well just did that, still looks the same. I don't get it I see some trucks with the bumper almost flush all around the truck while I seem to still have a wider gap at the back of the bumper on the sides.

After thinking about it for a bit after trying to adjust the bumper I was thinking what if I just un loosen up the top bolts only of the bumper ? Well thats what I did and got a screw driver to pry the bumper away a bit from the bracket and slide in a washer on top of the bolt and re tighten the top bolts.

End result no more gap the washer caused it to kick back just enough to loose the gap and the sagging look. Here is a pic where you can see the gap as it may not be much to sum it aggravated the crap out of me.
