the bumper bar is behind the cover... and no it cannot be simply jacked up and rebolted... the bumper bar has a slot tooth on each side so it will fit and lock in place.

if the bumepr cover is sagging then it could be your impact cusion is missing or busted...
what part of the bumper is sagging? got any pictures?

ya its not that simple as 2 bolts if that bumper bar is busted or bent then the bumper cover is most likely jacked up on the outside. but if its just saging then that could be from anything... no bolts along the bottom of the bumper cover... the top back corner screw or plastic retainer are stretched and hanging down... or even your aftermarket headlights have crappy fitment giving the bumper cover a sagging look... or the braces under the headlights holding the cover up could be bent or missing from previous wreck...

mines missing one of those under headlight bracing making it sag alittle.
