it looks good though, didnt you get this bumper for a few hundred bucks?

I got the bumper for free, I need to lower the rear, that's what I need to do lol.

The front to the rear is only a .5" difference, looks so big cause the wheels are sunken like crazy.

Yeah I know about the spacers, I still haven't gotten an alignment, that's the main reason it looks so sunken. Next week that should be fixed.
