I had several panels out of alignment and had the dealership fix it.

I thought it was going to be easy...loosen a few bolts, move the panels a bit, then tighten them down. Turns out they had to loosen the grill and bumper to get everything adjusted. When it was all said and done everything lined up great (front quarter panels, hood, grill, and bumper) but there is a bit of a gap difference between the bumper and the two "beaver cheeks" (panels between the headlights and bumper).

As much as I'm OCD about things it's a small price to pay for everything else on my truck to be aligned. I don't even notice it any more.

That's exactly why I didnt lol I love the function of the rambox but have heard too many stories about how uneven they are

Honestly it doesn't bother me anymore. As long as the lids seal they are performing their function. Most people don't even notice it unless I point it out. It's like any other flaw on the truck, like rock chips or paint flaws. It's over a year old now so I'm over the whole "newness" aspect.

Thanks @GreenGoblin now I see the gap too. Passenger side is about twice as wide as driver's side. Adding to my list of issue when I take in for the first oil change.

I wonder if this would fix my front camera alignment in 360 view mode. I asked the dealer to line it up exactly and they said there wasn't anyway to do it since the camera isn't movable but if the grill is then bam!

I figure somebody would be cussing me over this but at least you see it now and not later on down the road.
