TTB issues.

SO I bought a 1996 F-150 4x4 6 inch fabtech lift. 35's

nice truck seemed in good shape.

Yeah now I am doubting that, the previous owner, decided to wheel it and bash it,

yeah so I went and got my tires balanced today as they seemed off,

with the truck hoisted my mechanic found that the passenger side axle is rubbing against the traction beam.... this was odd and bothered me tonight so I went under my truck and with a tape measure on level ground I now know what happened the guy was offroading and hit something and bent the beam back about an inch and this is what is causing me all the issues.

so how hard would it be to replace that axle and that beam?
