Hit a pothole. Do I need to have this fixed?
Went turkey hunting this morning. Lots of rain washed out a hole past a bridge on a gravel road. Didnt see it. About a 2 foot drop on passengers side. Boom. Im no auto body expert. Please take a look at these pics and let me know if i need to get this repaired or addressed in some way. I really appreciate your thoughts. Truck drives fine. No shudders. Wheel alignment fine. No steering issues.

I'm by far no expert. The welds still look intact (check for any visual cracks) other then the part being cosmetically bent I doubt this will impact the integrity or strength of it. Just my 2 cents.
Good luck!

Thanks for the reply Azuri. I checked the welds and the rest of the part. No cracks just bent a little so I guess I'm good. Hate to scar my truck but guess it could have been worse. Thanks again Phil

Is your truck still under warranty? If yes, take it in

It is under warranty. But I would prob have to run through my auto ins if it needs fixed. Anyone know what that part is called? It appears to be a bracket welded to the frame and bolted to a bar that extends to the opposite side.

Well others could be having the same trouble. And I'd get it fixed or you'll regret it later
