Straightened the bumper... Sorta

Finally pulled off the bumper and attempted to straighten in out. Got the passenger side straight as an arrow, but had a real tough time with the driver side. Had to remount and dismount the bumper 4 or 5 times to check alignment, got better and better but just couldn't get it all the way.

I bet the brackets that are attached to the bumper which were nearly impossible to bend back since the bumper doesn't weigh very much so I couldn't get any leverage. So instead I just bent the brackets on the truck in the opposite direction. Two crooked brackets = One straight bumper :D (sorta) Also snugged the bumper up towards the grill as far as I could. "Prove it!!" Okay ;)

Had to cover the license plate because the reflective material was screwing with the flash:

Yeah it looks good. I know mine was a PITA after the body lift to re-align!

Mine either :D. Although my rear bumper is pushed in about a half inch from a prior minor rear-ending I assume. I'll have to replace the brackets at some point.
