Minor frame damage

Ive been reading the forums for a while and I finaly decided to post Topic isnt the best though. I decided to play dune buggy in my 97 f250 light duty
I bent the end of the right frame and its just enough to keep the tires from aligning i was curious if anyone had any ideas on pricing for frame services dosent have to be the same thing as me im trying to see if its worthwhile to fix.......although i dont know if i could part with her

i dont know about you but it would be well worth it to me to havr the frame strightened. there are shops that do lser straightening and they do a great job. i'd prolly expcet to pay somewhere around 800-1000 for a small job such as yours. if you were to straighten the whole frame it'd more like a couple grand!
