grill alignment issue

im allot pickier than mist people but i noticed that the spacing between my front grill and the valance (above the bumper) is closer on the passenger than the driver side. i was wondering if anyone else has noticed this on there truck?

OK, now we know where the "hi jump" test mule went.

J/K ...... likely just a simple matter of adjustment.

If the hood is right with the fenders, and the grille is right with the hood, then the valance as you call it is either out of adjustment or warped.

How much difference?

I would start at the hood and see if it is at a different position in relation to the fenders.

Or just something that is going to be relevant with any vehicle with that level of meticulous detail, especially when a factory churns out at least 50 to 100 trucks a day (rough estimate). Just an assembly line. Bolt on, next, bolt on, next, bolt on, next, etc.
