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.
 
Stupid awesome maybe, lol. I used to do shyt like that as a kid all the time, and once in a blue moon as an adult. I would just get under there and look around.
 
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.
 
Getting air is always fun, its just fixin the things u broke that sucks
 
Well, you def bent a tie rod, couldn't tell you which one though. Just look under, it should be pretty obvious.
 
well i finally got under the truck today, and found the right radius arm bushing set is blown, right side of the front axle is bent, left side tie rod adjusting sleeve is bent,pitman arm is twisted, another tear in the right floor pan, foremost crossmember is twisted, rear sway bar is bent, oh and i almost forgot..... the entire frame is twisted.


anyone want to buy a truck for cheep??;missingteeth;
 
there is where any one of us could smack you for being a jackass.

i wish to be first in line.
