im not quite sure, i was planning on taking it off completely but am afraid it wont go back on due to the Ahole that backed into me. i dont think anything to do w the frame is bent, neither broken, just out of allignment or tweaked you could say, its somewhat sagging a little bit.

Yea go under the truck and there are 8 bolts attached to the frame.. undo them and relevel the bumper providing that nothings bent or broken.. cant imagine why it would just fall like that without something being messed up..
