Too much bumper sag???
Tell me what you all think. Can I adjust this myself or is this a body shop repair (although I wouldn't think so)?
Look at left side compared to right. See the wider gap under passenger headlight?
Passenger side. Wider gap:
Driver's side. Gap not as wide:

Someone has to know if my bumper is correct or not.

Well clearly it is not "correct". Something must have gotten bent along the way. Did you check the brackets it is fastened to? You may be able to see a ripple or distortion in one of them. I would tend to think that the driver side got pushed up as opposed to something pushing the passenger side down. You could tell better if you compared it to another. You could try loosening all the mounting bolts, position it as close to even as you can, and then retighten them. If it is possible to loosen where the mounting brackets attach to the frame, the extra slop may help the case even more.

The front bumper is held on by 4 bolts, its really easy to adjust you can access the bolts from the top of the truck. To do this you have to remove the black cover thats on top of the radiator when the hoods open. I took my front bumper off to paint it took only like 10 min to do.
