Adjusting a bumper?

Is it possible to adjust the seating of a bumper?

I've noticed that the drivers side of my front bumper is a little lower than the passenger side (Can stick a thumb in on drivers side, only a pinky in the passengers side) and its driving me crazy... sort of makes the entire drivers side look unaligned.

Its tough to see from a distance, but when you get close its noticable (Note: The picture makes it look a little worse than it is.)

You can loosen the bolts at the bumper or the mounting bracket move it up or down.Or if you can`t moe it anymore to even out the space you could shim it up.

Awesome Lariat!

I'll take a look into it tomorrow and let you know how it comes out!

BTW: You don't happen to know what socket size the bolts are off the top of your head?

Mine too

I just picked up an '07 FX4 with the same problem. Actually, both sides are lower than the middle. It seems that only I notice but it does drive me crazy.
