So get this... someone must have hit my back bumper in the parking lot at my office today or yesterday. Its pushed in against the spare. They didn't hit hard enough to where there is any damage to anything, but its clearly moved, and the right hand side is about 0.25 - 0.5" higher. I was able to yank on it enough to get it just barely off the spare. But dammit, that pisses me off. I hope they crumpled their bumper or hood when they hit it.

Anthony, there are three nuts on each side with bolts that are attachted to a plate on each side. Loosen the nuts from the bumper, and realign the bumper. It shouldn't take too long.

Yeah, I'm gonna put the hitch on soon anyway, so I actually figured I would re-align it then, kill 2 birds with one wrench.
