Frame damage !
While out plowing this last snowstrom, 18" of wet, heavy stuff. My frame horns where the stabilizer bar bolts to caved in and bent towards the ground... I really havn't looked under it to see the extent of the damage but it don't look good. Anyone ever make any kind of repairs to these? It looks like I will have to take apart most of the front end and re-fabricate the frame from the coil springs forward.

Find a guy who is knowledgeable about frame repair AND has a frame machine. I've tweaked several frames on some Chevy pickups(rollovers and such) and my guy straightened them. And was cheap too.

A buddy just ran off the road a few weeks back and damaged his front end the same way. Insurance wanted it totalled but his body shop said they would estimate the repair at $1000 under the total amount and be able to repair it. He said it is designed to give in an accident at that point and those sections can be replaced if it isn't damaged behind a certain point on the frame. A lot of work but he loves that truck and didn't want it going to the scrap heap.
