You can see their was no attempt to brake. It was like hiting a brick wall the police person said.

From what I can see the hitch frame is pushing on the spring shakcle...causing the rear axle to be out of square...thats why it wont track straight..Imo it is all repairable...but Iam not an expert...I wouldnt mess with it until the adjusters see everything...after that if you get the hitch off of the springs I would bet it tracks straight..make sure the repair shop checks the spring to axle alignment pins.



Frame shops can do amazing things, just make sure they can show you that the truck is 4 wheel square...

Yes, easily repairable... They will remove the spare tire, Remove the trailer hitch, bumper and brackets. Than straighten the frame, replace the bumper brackets, replace the bumper support, replace the bumper cover. Re-install the spare tire, and install the trailer hitch or replace it if bent...



Betcha about 1500-2000 with parts and labor...

Mine was 800 with parts and labor, I did not need frame work, but everything else was replaced..

They said it would have been 2 to 5 hours on the frame machine if it was bent, at 80-100 bucks an hour...

Good luck.
