I think those were Samsung pics? Not really seeing what you are.? Here’s a couple from my iPhone. Look any better?

No disrespect to your son, but that Ranger is a shit-ton better than any Nissan Frontier . . .

Just sayin. . .
Haha. Yeah he is definitely a little jealous of how this turned out. It eats at him silently. 😂

Those look normal. I'm wondering if the bumper messes with my perception of the width. Regardless it looks good.

Had to add some custom spacers under the front springs to compensate for the sag of the weight of the bumper. Then had to get another alignment. She sits level again. Now to pull the bumper off and prep for Raptor Liner.

Just got caught up on your build. Your truck has turned out amazing. Seen where you was worried about painitng it yourself and it turned out great. I see you have a ton of fab work from interior to bumper to headache rack. When you look at a project makes you wonder where all the time was spent, but it is what makes the results. Great job!!! You got something to be proud of and that you did it yourself.
