so yesterday, i was being stupid, on a backwoods gravel road. i as doing clutch dumps at 5 grand and getting the truck sideways well i lost control. along side the road was a little dirt berm about two feet tall, i spun out and hit the perm side ways mostly with my right front tire. jumped over the perm and landed in a bean field. after getting myself out and making things right with the farmer i got back on to pavement and notice my alignment is WAY off and the truck pulls to the right and it feels like to toe is out again. and im trying to figure out what i could have bent, im thinking the drag link, but im wondering if i might be over looking something.

no i didnt get any pics, and ya it was one of those stupid times. and i peeked under there and every thing "looks" ok, but i eyeballed the toe with twine and it looks like the passenger side is kicked out a good deal, and the only thing i can think of is i stretched out the pitman arm, what is possibility of this happening? after driving it today, the driveline is starting to click. so i think im just going to get a new pitman arm and spicer style driveshaft from LMC.
