bent frame?
i jumped a sidewalk at about 10 mph and i think i bent my frame? The tires and rims are fine, and so is the alignment, im not leaking anything either, but i looked under my truck and saw the bent frame. Its bent back about two or three inches, how much is this going to cost to replace, can i drive it, and will it cause any further damages if i do drive it?

Why do you think the frame is bent? What do you mean bent back 2 or 3 inches. Where is the "bent" area located.
I am sure your suspension can absorb a "10" MPH impact, but please provide more information on the location of the "damage".

I've bottomed out in my '95 several times...on rocks, stumps, and the like. Never bent the frame...It takes a LOT to do that...Got any pics so we can check it out?

I highly doubt you bent your frame by jumping a curb. If anything, you would have bent a rim or two and that would have been it. But to bend a frame you would have serious issues, most likely a couple flat tires, bent rims, broken suspension parts, fender to door alignment, cab to bed alignment, etc.
