Is the frame tweaked? They may have used the correct parts but that doesn't mean they fixed the problem. I wouldn't accept the truck tell it looks like it did before the accident.

Hey guys id like to start off by thanking you in advance for any help or info your able to offer. About a month ago I was in a accident, some guy with road rage issues didn't want to let another vehicle merge in behind me so he decided running into the back of my truck was the solution! Anyways on to the question...I went down to the body shop today to pick up my truck and the rear bumper was WAY out of alignment (to low and out way to far) so what I wondering is if there is any way to pull the bumper back in? I can see the 6 bolts on the receiver are slotted so up and down wouldn't be a issue but its sticking out almost 2" from the body line on the side of the truck (basically in line with the hole in the body that the bumper is supposed to cover) is there any adjustment in the bumper or on the receiver to pull it in? I went over parts list with the estimator and it appears they used all the correct parts so im hopping there is a easy solution to my problem. :wtf2:

Have any pics of the mounting bolts or the bumper? I'd check to see if they stuck any washers in between the bumper and the mounting brackets to make it stick out? I'd take it back to them and have them adjust it since they did the work! Show them other raptor bumpers and show them it's not right! They should fix it

I didn't accept it went down last night and once I pointed it out they agreed something was off so there going check it out today and try to
re adjust it but like I said above it didn't appear to be any adjustment IN.... And funny you suggest ADD I got both front and rear venom series bumpers home waiting to be put on but until I'm sure they have the correct factory parts and adjustments no point in causing myself more grief only pics I have so far are of the damage caused by the accident. Ill post more when I go down again and finished product when I get her home5uzyzy3y.jpg

Well it's been awhile and I've had my bumpers sitting in my buddy's garage for past few months but we finally got some nice weather and time off to get em installed, had to make few slight mods but all an all they went on easy and the truck looks amazing!

Looks good. Do you find the bar in front of the lights inset on the front is right in front of the lower row of LEDS?

Ya that was only thing with the front bumper that I didn't like, I would have assumed that when I ordered the 4" light there be a 4" hole but way it was designed it didn't work out. Dry fitting it on the ground it looked kinda dumb but once I mounted it on the truck and aimed the lights you can't notice that little bar covering them. I think cause there not a flush mount that bar will also act as protection
