Default 2011 Bumper Cover

I have noticed on my 2011 SCREW Lariat the plastic cover this is above the chrome part of the bumper but below the headlights seems pushed up in the middle. I wonder if this normal or just out of alinement?

That's what I thought also just not looking forward to taking it back to dealer to fix. When it come to paint and body I don't know I trust the dealer. Or to many body shops for that matter. I would be ok if they just had to adjust, but replacement is a whole different story. We will see what they say

In this picture you can clearly see a small gap between the bottom of the grill, and the trim piece above the bumper. This is not my truck as it is dark outside, but I will check mine tomorrow.

I just saw another 2011 Lariat with the same issue as yours, here.

Old post, but oh well. Mine was the same as yours, but seemed normal on the lot. Fix for mine was using two 1/4" spacers under the top bolts.


The two outside bolts you need the spacers, it will raise it up like so:



Will look better after about three days once the plastic resettles and should give you that nice even lower gap.
