Hey,

I wonder if that gap between the front lights and the upper bumper is too wide on my truck and if anyone has an idea how to fix that?

Both lights and bumper seem to be rigid and in place … it’s a 3rd gen 2500 from 2003.

Any ideas? :)

Best regards,
Ben

They all have it:

But in the one shot it looks like yours might be a tad excessive.

the bumper bolt hole are not tight tolerance holes. I have removed several doing engine swaps in the 02-05 rams and doing engine swaps are so nice in these models with the bumper removed and cross member its a walk in engine compartment with a simple loosening of the two bumper bolts on one side and raising bumper back up and retighten bolts will get rid the excessive gap repeat for other side
