Need advice on how to straighten front rails.

Hello, Hit an ice patch on Interstate last Tuesday. Bumper, Core Support, and Condensor are history. Rails are bent in front of clamps for Stabilizer Bar. No damage to Engine. Anyone had this misfortune, and if so how did you correct it. Thanks Leaky

Can you go back and hit whatever you hit from the opposite angle at the same exact speed?

Whole I have little doubt that a good body shop could put those back into shape, it's going to be a tough DIY job. Usually involves chains and solid anchor points and hydraulic rams.

Without hydraulics or at least some serious leverage it's gonna be hard to get the even back close enough to put a bumper back on.

Any chance you have somewhere you can anchor the truck to a tree and pull the frame ends away from it? Maybe with another tree and large winch or another 4x4 in low range?

Heat and beat is going to be the way to go.

Park near a tree with a comealong and pull it straight. Hit the frame under tension to settle it back in place. Take frequent measurements of opposite diagonal spots to check for square.
