Bumper sag

Has anyone come up with a fix for the front bumper sagging right under the headlights? My pants sag, but my bumper shouldn't.

My bumper only sags if I don't have the foam blocks placed correctly. Other than that 20+ R&R and my bumper still looks and fits like stock with original clips.

Yep, on my passenger side my bumper hangs theres like a half an inch gap between the bumper and my headlight but the driver side is good. It bugged me for like a day then I got over it, also my trunk sits higher on the passenger side if looking at my car from the back..

I don't have the crash beam on, which might be part of it. Those stock clips that mount the bumper to fender suck, mine have been replaced by zip ties, which honestly work much better. I don't think any of my bumpers have ever had that foam stuff.

I had this issue and one of my clips is broken on the fender to screw it in.

I fixed this by taking a 5/16" drill and measuring out the length from the end of the fender to where I wanted to drill. Marking it with marker and then measuring out on the bumper the same length. I then drilled 2 holes on the spots I marked and replaced them with a bolt and nut from home depot.

could be worse, it's only bad on the passenger side. I have something holding the drivers side up, not sure what.

This happened to me when I installed JDM headlights. The cause was the clips becoming worn out and not holding the bumper up tightly. The solution was to replace the 3 clips for the front bumper on the side the headlight is on. You can get the 3 clips on lancershop for like $14 and do it yourself the next time you pull your front bumper off.
