I was recently rear ended and it bent my rear bumper down. Actually it is the brackets that are bent. I can't find them anywhere. Can it be bent back into position?
 






Pictures might help the opinion here, but I doubt you can bend back the brackets. Replace the brackets, and the bumper of necessary, using parts from salvage.

Good luck and be safe.

Two years ago, they were offer at the ford dealer. That is the fast and easy way too replace them.
I made a replacement. I brought 1/4 " flat stock from home depot and welded them together (1/2"). I used a torch too bent the steel. Plus drilling the holes in it. It take time to fab. The frame holes are larger than the bumper holds. That why it easy to buy from dealer discontinued. Savlage yard
