Sagging Bumpers...

I've seen many of these trucks out there with the front bumper kind of 'sagging'. What causes this? I ask this to try to prevent this from happening to mine.

Everything sags with age, man! I hate getting older! (sigh.....)

Ok, this wasn't very helpful, sorry, but it was just sooooooo obvious!

They are made of cheap, thin steel. You can adjust the front one by adding washers to the top mounting bolts if the ends are dropping down and to the rear.

i removed my bumpers, bent the ears back in like they are supposed to be, and added a peice of 1/2 inch heavy angle iron inside the bumper, then redrilled the holes. bolted everything back together and did a little tweaking. now my bumpers do not sag, even if i do a little lite pushing.
