I have my front Shrock Bumper (front), well it looks like it sags in the front a bit? Is this normal do the Xtra weight... Also is there a way to eliviate this? Thank You.

The bumper itself can't really sag, it's all heavy steel. Do you have it on straight and the bolts tightened? The side bolt holes are sloted, so if it's not on tight, it could move down. Get a friend to help, while you line it up and tighten down the bolts well. laugh

If your entire front end looks like it's sagging try cranking the t-bars a little bit. laugh

I guess what's being asked is if the bumper is tilted down due to being attached that way, or it the X's nose is now lower due to the weight?

The easiest way to tell is the fender line to bumper line...if it looks level with the matching edge of the fender line (Passenger/driver fender lines...), then the front end can be sagging, as in the suspension, and a t-bar tweak will fix it.

If the bumper is drooping relative to the fender lines, then you just need to loosen the frame horn bolts enough to readjust the angle of the bumper, and re-tighten at the correct position.

If you are having trouble determining the above, a few pics from the two sides and front of the X would help us to let you know.

Have fun!

What he said... there is always some play in the bolt holes on these types of things - so you should be able to loosen up the mounting bolts and tweak the position of it a little.

Or, as others said - if your problem is that the suspension is sagging under the extra weight, that can easily be fixed with a torsion bar adjustment. Search around for PML (poor man's lift) for more info on torsion bars and their adjustment.
