Post Rear Bumber Adjustment???

Ok! Did the search. Didn't find anything on adjustment for rear bumper on the L. Tons of info on the rear for lift-kits and front bumper adjustment for the L.

I lowered the rear 2". I'm not looking to make the bumper level. Looking to make it follow the angle of the rear steps at the back of the bed meeting the bumper. Can this be done without shims?



I hate that it looks like it is sagging down or looks out of adjustment. Anyone correct this on their L? I appreciate the help.
I know I could fix this by buying a roll-pan. Would Like to keep it stock looking if I can.

There are only four bolts that hold it on and they are in slotted holes. Crawl under the truck and take a look.

Spike,
I was under the truck when I put the shackles on. I did see the four bolts. They are flush against the frame. Doesn't look like there is an adjustment for the bumper to tilt up and inward. Mine is sitting flush. Just wanted to make sure I didn't overlook anything.

Thanks.

Now I understand what your trying to do. Try putting a large fender washer at the connection.

Thumbs up

Spike,
Yeah, it looks like I will have to add washers to the bottom ones to get the bumper to tilt up.

Thanks.
