Do I need new rear bumper brackets?

Hey so I have a 2007 Ranger with a dented rear bumper, its been bothering me so I am going to fix it. I have a new chrome bumper face but I am not sure about the mounting brackets.

As you can see from the pics the bumper looks pushed down so I am thinking I need new mounting brackets? When I look underneath none of the brackets look visibly bent though. Do you think my brackets are bent or is it just the bumper face metal that is bent down?

I am trying to decide if I should go ahead and get used or new brackets to fix the sag or if it will be fine just reusing the old brackets?

What do you guys think?

Your brackets look fine to me, I think it's just the bumper that's bent.

What others?
What's wrong with the frame mounted trailer hitch already on the truck?
