I'd like to get the rear of the hood more in line height wise with the fender. The front is easy enough to adjust, but at the rear it looks like I'd have to remove the fender complete just to adjust the hood up or down. Just want to make sure im not missing something more simple. Thanks for any help!

You might be able to get to the hinge thru the gap when the door is open. Hinges used to be adjusted from there to raise or lower height. If that doesn't work a shim at the hood to hinge attachment point will raise the hood . If the truck is fairly new dealer might adjust it for you as a courtesy.

I didn't think about going the open door route, I'll definitely try that. It's brand new though so i might go by the dealer first. The shims are another great idea. Thank you!
