Front Bumper gap isnt consistent

Hi everyone, I am brand new to these forums, looking for some input. I recently purchased a 2011 FX4, first ever F150. I noticed (even when I first starting looking at it on the lot) that the front bumper gap is larger on the sides of the bumper (both sides), IE, the bumper angles down on the sides of the bumper. Yet the gap is consistent in the center out to the large curvature of the bumper itself, then angles down hill. Nothing looks bent at all, and the truck has not been in any accidents prior to my purchase. Is there a way to adjust the bumper so I can fix this gap on the ends to be consistent with the middle of the bumper? Also, how big should that gap be?

Thank you everyone for your input, looking forward to learning more about my truck!

I do not sure if im understand your issue correctly. Have you check all bolts that in place? Even it doesnt show on records, there are possible previous owner remove a bumper. Maybe aftermarket he/she had or had repaint again due to some scratch or idk.

It can be adjusted. Definitely a lot easier with two people or so. Just loosen up the bolts that attach the bumper to the frame, adjust, then retighten while holding it in place.
