Bent down rear rail
I got hit in the rear, it did not look like anything was wrong. Several years later I took the rear bumper off and low and behold both rails are bent down several inches. I've been trying to figure out a setup to bend the rails back into place, I'm stumped. Anyone got any Ideas.

Re: Bent down rear rail
bring it to a body shop and have them measure it out and see if they can pull it
I'm not sure of any (safe) home remedies for a bent frame. It will take alot of force to pull it back.

Re: Bent down rear rail
Should I take the bed off if I take it to a shop to have the frame pulled?

Re: Bent down rear rail
Ask the body shop. Possible the back bed supports are also bent a bit. Would suck to get the frame straight only to find your bed won't fit anymore.
