So I have not posted for a while - truck was in great order.
Someone hit me on the side of my truck with the side of their car.
Wheel alignment is out, rear axle is pushed over, and hitting holes or bumps very bad.
The tranny and engine is also acting up.
Front bumper, hood and grill damaged - but not as much as I thought would be due to mechanical damage.
So not sure what is not wrong, alot not right.

Well the suspension should be simple to fix/see once ya have it up on a lift. As far as trans/engine do you have any codes?

Not understanding any of this, actually.
axle position, negates all other suspension components, causing harsher, rougher ride?

Tranny & Engien acting up, from a side swipe accident, that did not cause any major body damage?
yet, forces involved, were enough, to cause all teh issues, without hurting any body countors or lines?

Ok
- frame strait - no adjustment
- wheel alignment done
- still have super hard ride - worse than before - might be shocks bent, but they did not say.
- still need tranny looked at & body
