Bumper

I can't find any info on this with the search. Is the bumper on a 2015 RAM crome bumper adjustable? Mine has a gap.

I replaced my chrome bumper and replaced it with a plastic bumper. The chrome bumper bolts right to the frame. No adjustment. I suggest doing a carfax on your truck to see if it was ever damaged. Sounds like something is bent, and out of wack.

I've looked at it closely a few times. Six bolts hold it on. Nothing looks bent or scuffed or moved. Carfax and Auto Check were clean. I didn't notice it when I bought it in March. Thought it was odd the first time I washed it. Then I looked at a couple in a parking lot and theirs didn't have the gap.
I'll just leave it be, no big deal. I like the chrome. Not a fan of painted bumpers.
I was planning on doing this adjustment myself even though it has a couple months of warranty left. I hate dealerships.
Thanks for your ideas.

You could take the chrome bumper off and widen out the bolt holes with an air burr grinder. That way you would have the slots to adjust it.

My outdoorsman has the painted metal bumper, just like your chrome one, and the upper bumper cover rubbed the paint off. I took it in and had it painted under warranty cause there wasn’t any visible damage so it just looked like an alignment issue from factory, as infantry vet said, when they took it apart to paint it they realized there was no alignment issues causing it since it bolts solid in place and it ended up being bumped sometime and had to be straightened out before being repainted. I’m just backing his statement that maybe yours got bumped also like mine and created the gap.

There is a little bit of play to give you some adjustment, but not a lot. I know on my truck nothing is really lined up perfect because none of the holes are drilled quite in the right spots, but most bumpers and panels had enough play to get them mostly straight except the box. Mine is new from the factory so just because it's crooked doesn't mean it's been hit.

Infantry vet: how was the conversion to the plastic bumper on your gen 4?
