1/2 Ton front bumper

Post by Closed Cab »

Any 1/2 ton owners who might be able to send me some photos/explain how the front bumper attaches to the frame? I know there should be an upper and lower gusset plate, along with the tow hooks, but something is not right with my setup, looks like there should be some spacers or something. My bumper is much larger than the frame ends. Thanks.
