I think I've asked this already, but how do you adjust the front bumper height? Here you can see the bumper sagging a little towards the wheel. I tried turning the cylinder, but it dosnt do anything.

I've got that same little gap on my driver's side also.

The cylinder under the trim adjusts the bumper in|out, not up and down.

I'm not sure there's a good way to adjust that little gap, but what I did was adjust the front portion (loosen the bolts on the bumper carrier) to match the gap in the back. The seals that go on the bumper cover take up most of the difference.

I'm not sure what you're referring to but if you're talking about the small gap between your fender and your front bumper, then you can use a zip tie to tie them both together. Less than half an inch inside the wheel well, you'll find there's a hole that connects them two. That's what I did when mine sagged.
Hope that helps :)

Josh...listen to Shaun...he's got the method to the madness down.

When reinstalling the bumper, each side has to be lifted while the 17mm nuts are being set. This is what determines the "height".

What happened with your weld problem? Did you get that resolved?
