thanks for the offer - but i took care of it yesterday - put a block pf wood under the bumper, used the jack and lifted it up. definitely more in line with the other side now. As far as the sticking out - i backed it into a tree in my yard a few times. My neighbors were somewhat bemused by that. Seems to have helped. The bumper looks much better, almost perfect. I have decided to leave it at that. Thanks to all for their guidance.
