stock bumper question...

[Rose2300]

Do the stock bumpers tend to sag on one side or the other? both my front and rears are a little crooked and i was wondering if I could do anything to correct this.

I've been able to adjust mine a little by loosening the bolts slightly , moving the bumper and re-tighten. If the bumper has been in an accident it could be tweaked.

If they are sagging on the same side front and back, I would be checking body mounts. I find it slightly intangible that they both are sagging on the same side without a body mount issue.

If it was a body mount, it would be the side opposite the sag you see in the bumper, as the bumper is attached directly to the frame. I know on my old 85 that the hangers for the bumper had the oval shaped holes in them so you could adjust it up or down/ in out.

It's on the same side, but i've also noticed that whenever someone is getting into the back of my truck they always step on the right side, so maybe this is why its sagging??
ps: im almost 100% positive that the cab and bed are sitting level.

After coming back and re-reading my first post, I remembered that the bed has no real possible way of sagging with the cab as it sits directly on the frame and would have to rust on one side to lean. Adjust the one side of your bumpers and be happy

No problem! If you dont have a friend handy to help, a floor jack and a block of wood works well.
