Why do the front bumpers not sit level
I've noticed when looking at trucks for sale on a lot of them the front bumper is angled up in the front. Anyone know why and ways to keep it from happening?

You mean the rear corners of the bumper are kinda hanging down? The most common cause that I've seen is people hook up logging chains to them when they get stuck, the towing vehicle pulls hard and the bumper of the stuck truck twists.

The bumpers have adjustments in their mounts, and all it takes to fix this is loosen the mounts and reposition them. They move pretty easy, all it takes is a light hit or tug and the bumper will go all outta whack.
