i bent the passenger side of my rear bumper towards the front and down by backing tdown this embactment with a concrete drainage dip and a four inch lip of pavement on top of that.
i slammed one time it quite nicely and bent it real bad.
but found a way to fix it realatively inexpensively.
maybe 12 dollars and a nearby tree.
12 bucks a 12000 pound rachtet strap from sams club.
and the tree for hooking it around.
the trees had a real big branch about 6ft up and thats what i hooked around. the racheted it tight. and pulled in 4 low from my driveway with my pops watching to make sure it was going ok. well.
it's straight now and you can barely tell it's was bent. if you look closely.
some times the simplest fixes are the best.
i was quoted from my ford dealer something like 260 for a new rear bumper.
good stuff.

Way to use your available resources.
Unless it would've bent your frame.
