Haha yea so even if you wait like a year to put it back on it's not gonna hurt anything. And it shouldn't take you but like 30 minutes or so to adjust it haha just make sure you have some pb blaster or wd 40 handy ha.

It could have pushed those perches around (unlikely) or bent the support inside the bumper (more likely). You could pull off the bumper and take a right angle to the perches to make sure they're still straight. If not that's a little more work to fix cause I doubt you could beat those out with hammer, but that's worst case scenario. Since you said though you were able to straighten it out though and then it went back to being bent down again, I'd bet it bent the support that the bolts go through on the bumper which could most likely be beat back into place with a hammer.

Well I took off my bumper and looked to see any dents and it looked pretty fine so I put it back on and it sagged again. So I just went down to ace and picked up some pretty thick washers and put 3 each on the top bolt when putting the bumper back on and this is what happened.....

I know it is a little to high now so mabye later on i will remove 1 of the washers but it looks a hell of a lot better like that rather then sagging!!!
