Bent front bumper

I have a 92 F250 and have noticed a lot of these trucks have the front bumper bent in the same places. The ends are bend down. Can anyone tell me how this is getting done?

I think some of them slip in the adjustable mounting holes near the ends, and can be readjusted.

I'm pretty sure at least 80% of the old pickup bumpers from the 70-90's are missaligned

x2 probably just needs adjustment to bring it back up. My 92 was like this when I bought it, and all I had to do was loosen the bolts readjust and add some shims to get level

Loosten the bolts in the back on the adjusting bracket and try to move it back to the correct position and tighten them back up. Sometimes if the truck has hit something, the adjusting brackets can be bent a little, but it's possible to bend them back.
