The rear bumper (and brackets?) on my Suburban is bent and cobbled up. Checking the Factory Assembly Manual, I believe that the rear bumper (face bar) on the Suburban is the same as the front one (3700438). Is this correct? If so, someone did a real "bend" job on the brackets, seeing that the short arm of each rear bracket is bent back about 3-4" from the mounting hole of my new bumper.
Has anyone had luck in bending bumper brackets--I imagine it will take a considerable amount of heat and a careful calculation to get the bend just right.
Any advice or hints?
Thanks,
Jim
