I got a little bit of revenge for you this morning. Shot a small boar behind the house. Maybe brighten your day just a little bit.

If it is not seriously kinked, straightening can be successful depending on where the bend is. Still haven't heard from my friend yet, but getting it from here to there may be a challenge also. Straightening may be much cheaper alternative.

And make sure he check alignment after straightening. If he is a good shop, this is a given.

Hope it works out!

Will the next truck have driving lights?
This is exactly why I have lights. It's not deer I worry about so much as the hogs. They are larger and heavier and really don't give a **** about vehicles coming towards them.

Nothing like that and I looked at the truck this morning. The frame dont even look bent on it other then the frame horns moved a hair of a inch.

Oh and the bed sits a inch and half lower on drivers side then the passenger side.

Check body mounts at bed. Maybe one popped loose and is letting one side sit higher..
