I will add that I am barely scraping on my rear drivers side against the inner fender liner where it bulges out to make room for the compressor. So I might look for another liner or notch this one as needed. Dont want to hit a big enough bump that the tire grabs it and rips it out, that doesn't sound like a good time at all

I notched my drivers rear liner a touch to give some clearance. Haven’t had any issues.

Good luck with that bumper gap. I tried that jack trick a couple times and no joy. Let me know how you go.

Didn't work for me either.

Maybe if I order a new bumper support/bracket and see where it lines up on that passenger side and go from there
If it still lines up like the old one we have bigger problems lol

Found one on Ebay, $10. Probably $20 in town.

Got some more jdm astar led bulbs. Kind of addicted with this company, great quality and awesome output with a cool 5000k white light instead of the dimmer and blue 6000k Ebay lights. With the money, I'm done with Ebay Chinese lights forever!!!View attachment 207650 View attachment 207653 View attachment 207654 View attachment 207651 View attachment 207652 camera plays tricks with the lighting but it's good enough that you can tell the difference
Pics in wifes car but it's all the same

I just got my first jdms in today. I'm with ya. They're nice. Well be buying more.

Any ideas on how to fix the common gm truck fender/bumper gap? Super common (99-06) yet nothing really posted on the webs
I was gonna use washer of some sort, trying not to use many washers. Drivers side sits nicely but passenger side says about a half inch. I think the cooperate might be the outer bumper bar that sags. Maybe even a jack and a 2x4 to persuade it back upView attachment 207756

I think I tried this as well, but worth a shot. Not much changed for me.

I think of all the problems my burb has had, I don't think it has the bumper sag problem

Actually scratch that. Passenger side looks 1/2-1" lower [emoji58]
