There are 2 on the truck and another 2 on the back of the bumper itself.
All of them seem to have been tweaked a smidge.

I appreciate the offer Jon! However, I did pount them as flat as I could
get them first, I'm hoping that the bumper itself isn't bent. I'm hoping
that the brackets will be cheaper to replace... and I'll go from there. If
it turns out to be the bumper, I might have to replace it with something
cooler looking.

Nope, no Daktoberfest in my future, sorry. I don't have the fundage.

My local dealer is fabulous, they give me my parts at cost usually... I'll
give them a call this weekend.
