Alright guys I did this to my truck a few months ago (The day I got out of the military in fact) and as a celebration a couple of us with trucks went out and well I had too much fun.

Unfortunately at the very end of the night I made a boo-boo and went full retard taking my baby off a small dirt jump and it landed horribly. I could tell immediatly it was not good. The back seats all popped up and sh*t came flying out of my du-ha under box, my rearview mirror was facing the roof after etc. Anyways over the course of the next couple days I started finding the damage. :uhoh2:

I was hoping some of you guys could shine some light on how bad it is, what to do etc. Thanks guys.

*Alignment is still perfect

Take a picture from the side ad check the gap between the cab and the bed. Shit happens man and you're better off then most of the trucks I've seen. The stock bump stop is pushed up a little but that's no bid deal my advice would be to get a bump stop kit! RPG's stage 2 will keep everything nice and tight and if your frame is a little but bent it'll straighten it right out and you won't have to worry about that anymore!!

That kinda looks like my good lol panels shift trust me I had my stock fenders get shoved up and now they're misaligned and the too edge of my left front fender is cracked that's what happens when you run 37's on stock fenders on too perch lol minor damage! Did you get a side shot of the truck and check the gap between the cab and bed?

And lastly the front passenger frame mount is crooked and the bed came up and hit the cab so hard it dented it (I just sharpied it in)


Sorry pat taking forever to upload. You can kind of see the dented cab in that. I'll run outside right now and grab a pic of the bed and cab gap. (I don't notice anything but you guys have better eyes for this than me)

Here we go! I just don't know if the frame is bent or what. Some bo-dunk collision shop here looked at it and told me there were no creases or bends but told me how the front fender is bent up, frame mount is bent etc.
I would rather have your guys .2 over them however

If anyone needs any more pics let me know and I will be more than happy to snap em'

Yea you're cab shifted forward that gap in the bed and cab looks pretty big and seeing the cab mount shifted forward isn't good either! Did you land hard on the front end?

Yep landed hard on the front passenger side. The question is now where do I go from here? Try bump-stop kit like you said, have a body shop try to fix it (i expect $$$$$) or leave it be. My ADD stealth bumper should be coming in the upcoming weeks so I don't care about the skid or front bumper.

Yea I'd get a bump stop kit so it doesn't happen again! It make it worse.. You could see about getting it fixed but like you said that would cost a bit of money but the truck seemed to hold up pretty well. My advice would be to stay away from kickers that kick the ass end up and make you nose dive like that! I've hit a few and almost stood the truck on its nose! The dents in the cab is a normal thing I have a few on both sides becaus the cab mounts aren't solid mounts. It wasn't the bed that came up and hit it the cab moves a lot off road. And the only way to fix that is get solid cab mounts but that makes for a very harsh ride
