    looks like the mounts loosened,,,so loosen them up some more,,use your jack on the bumper to level in the mounts, tighten up the mount bolts and you could be golden,,,maybe:rolleyes:,,,you shouldn't have to remove the bumper at all.

    Just put your jack under the lower side and bend it back into place ;)

    Sure you may screw it up royally but then you have a much better excuse for a new one :)

    The bumper is held on by a lot of bolts.

    Just reloosen them, reposition the bumper, and tighten. IIRC there are 3-4 bolts per side, so 6 or 8 total.

    Buying a new bumper will be pricey bc the hitch itself is $1000+ MSRP. But if you don't care about it, you have a lot of cheaper solutions.

    From the picture it looks like all you need to do is loosen the mounting bolts and re-level it.
