Is this bumper bracket bent? Well, obviously it is, but is it supposed to be? The passenger side is straight, but the driver side is bent. (It sort of looks like it should be bent because if straightened out, the mounting plate would be crooked. Passenger side and Driver side photos:
Dang it!!! Hit the enter key by mistake! (How do I edit a thread?)
Title should be "Bumper Brackets"

Someone hit it. I would just leave it alone or you are making a lot of work if it looks fine with the bumper on.
As for edit just let us know and we can fix it.
Or donate a couple of bucks to keep things running.
We are getting a new board when the server guy gets to us. There slammed with work because they are growing. It's a local guy that only has a couple of people.
Members come and members go, But the board keeps track of them.
Find me on FaceBook clicking HERE.
Or look on YouTube Click Here.
Get a clamp onto it and slowly clamp it closed (may need a heat gun on the bent side to help make it malleable) This will make the side braces as close to parallel again and force the front mounting plate outward. No smacking with hammers, no need to remove it unless access is really tight
