Not entirely sane
Bumper should have adjustable mounts. I believe they are a Torx head bolt, accessed through a small hole in the bottom of the bumper in line with the rear mounts. They could well be seized though as they pick up crud from under the car.

I had to drill a new hole in mine to get it to sit higher, you can get your fingers in there even with them trox's all the way up.
I think they left ford like that but i like the bumper touching the car look.
Hope this helps!
