Thanks for the input. I looked for ways to hide more of the hinge and the only 2 ways were to mill out some of the top of the bumper ( which I didn't want to do ) or make the hinge pin and tubes smaller diameter. Option 2 would work but I would be worried about durability, the hinge I built now flexes when it's tipped forward. I may end up putting a thin "skirt" strip along the front edge to take up a bit of the gap. As for moving the axle. I thought about it, maybe when I redo the cab ( this ones only temporary).

I appreciate the comments and suggestions!
