Maybe you need to raise your fender and cowl.   :)

the hood is actually adjustable but the way the spring system is on these trucks they are a pain to adjust because when the hinge bolts are loose they actually push the hood all the way up and you get it popping above the fenders...with the hood open loosen the rear bolt on the hinge and push up on the front on the hood and it will move and that should fix your gap..it takes a bit of fooling around to get them right.
