Would be curious to know if anyone else experiences this issue with recent delivery models of this bumper. By recent delivery I mean of those who received it within the last 10 days. I understand there are 2 batches of these bumpers that made it to the states so far.. one arrived late October and the 2nd batch in mid November.
got too dark to install mine today but will be tackling it tommorrow. will see if i have the same issue as you

Yeah... that definitely fits different than mine did. Are both sides at the same angle? The only thing I can think of is if your brackets didn't fit all of the way onto the frame ends, but then again there are bolt holes so not a lot of room for error.

Ironically, when I got mine one of the things I liked best was the way they seem to meet the rear fenders perfectly. (or at least, they did before I kissed that tree last weekend )

I think you should just take it off and send it to me. I will install it on my Jeep and see if it is the bumper or your Jeep. Don't worry, you can have my factory bumper, it should fit your Jeep perfectly.

Normally I would consider that, however I would be concerned that your factory bumper has alot of scraps on the bottom since your JK site so low
