Hey yall recently joined here and theres a lot of good information.. I recently tried to fix my front bumper.. I read most of the posts here. My problem is the the corners are still drooping down and im not sure if i drooped back down or i did something wrong.. I unbolted the 4 bolts put a jack on both sides and jacked it to the level height...tightened it back down release the jacks and the corners still droop....can yall help me out??

 

try using washers as spacers. this is a pretty common problem. in fact, in may have been covered under a recall for bad bumper mounts.

anyone have definitive info on that?

if you choose, i'm sure you could just replace the bumper mounts and that'll probably clear it up.

 

i know lmc truck has that stuff..maybe ill try it again tommorrow...also just so i dont start a new post could i put f250 front springs on my 92 f150 2wd to level the truck out some...probably those two things bug me the most about my truck...if i can fix those ill be really happy...

 

There is a kit available Low92, however most people can get away with washers and slightly longer bolts. It depends how fatigued the old brackets are.

 

ok ill try the washers and see how they do....ONe last thing.... should i paint the wheels shiny or flat black??

 

cause i cant decide

 

I'd paint them which ever is cheaper lol.

 

lol their both the same price....

 

Ok so i lied one last question...I have oil leaking from the right side of the motor if you are under the hood...My mechanic showed me and told me it was the crankcase gasket i believe... He told me it would be expensive to fix b/c they would have to remove some stuff( ive know them forever so they wouldn't rip me off)...but it doesn't look that bad..Can i do it or am i giving the gasket the wrong name because i can't find anything in the chiltons manual about it..

 

Oil pan gasket? Rear main seal?
