Here is what I do. After I put on some sort of thin styrofoam pads. get it all fairly snug, have a look and see if the front sides start to go down. If they do, I put car on lift with lift down, get a ratchet strap ( rubber coated hooks) to front of each side of Bumper UP to top adjuster bolt on the Lift and put some tension on both sides. Car needs to be at rear part of lift almost on the ramps. Only need to do last part if the bumper wants to move down in front. I have seen some bent brackets cause this also, BUT I have seen original cars do it that have never been touched. That said, there is room to adjust as shown. Get MPD to help !! Good luck, FB
