Hey guys, as the title says, i was fooling around with my driving on a dirt road and got sucked into a ditch going 40mph. I hit two or three big rocks, bent both passenger rims and busted one of the bushings on the sway bar end links.

Question is that my alignment is wayy off and also the passenger front tire is way closer to tjhe fender compared to the driver side. Im talking about the fender part closest to the doors.

I will post images when i get home.

The crazy thing is that when i get down and look perpendicular to the front wheels, the ppassenger wheel is more forward than the drivers wheel!! So im really stumped as to whats going on with the truck...

Sounds like you bent some upper or lower control arms, and possible other related chassis parts. Maybe post some pics? Good luck.
 












A better angle would be of the chassis parts underneath the truck. Upper/lower control arms, sway bar frame mounts, end link bushings, steering linkage, that sort of stuff.
 






you sure it wasn't like that before?
