Default Raising/Adjusting Front Bumper

I had an accident two weeks ago which did quite a bit of damage to the front end of my 2006 Silverado 1500. Luckily body damage was minimal. Anyways I got it all back together now but I realized the bumper was pushed down during the accident, and there is now a larger gap between the headlights/grille and the bumper.

I'm hoping someone could point me in the right direction on how to raise my bumper. I suspect the bumper brackets bent in the accident, but I crawled under and look today and didn't see anything wrong.

Here's some pictures. Really its not a big deal, but its the small things like this that bug me. I know bumper on the passenger side is definitely lower than the driver side. Even if I could just raise it a tad I would be happier!

You need to loosen all mount bolts and possibly straighten some support brackets
