I’m astonished my search didn’t yield any results. (Or maybe I’m just dumb) Seems like a lot, no most 100 series I see rear bumper has a bit of sag to it. Is there an easy fix to this? Not the greatest photo but the only one o have handy.

No I didn’t get my bonus
The ends, of rear bumper skin. Are held up by the upper bumper support, which is sheet metal. They're not design to be used as a step 
. The support, is held on by two bolts at either end. These bolts, are used to align the ends of bumper skin, with body. We just need loosen these bolts, then raise the bumper support ends, by pushing up from underneath. Once bumper end, are we want them. Tighten the bolts, to hold that position. In some cases, bumper support will need straighten, to get proper alignment. In most they can use derusting and painting
Notes:
These bolts can be rusted in. Use care removing. One method is to remove bumper skin. Then use stiff wire brush, to clean thread and soak threads with pretreating oil. keep soaking over extended time period. Use of heat mat also help. In the end, they may need drilling out.
All to often, the rear bumper takes a tap. Which can jamb, upper bumper support into 1/4 tip of body, breaking paint away to bare metal. These spots, need painting.
