Do you have a lift at all on it? I like your ride height a lot.
I have it leveled on Bilstein 5100's.

Perfect. I have a set of Billies sitting in my living room right now, just waiting to get put on.

I have a question for you guys.. I'm worried about longevity of the truck components i.e. 4x, engine, tranny after a truck had been in an accident and jolted around so roughly. If this were your truck would you sleep soundly owning the truck after getting it back from the shop or would you sell and get a new truck? Maybe I'm being overly cautious here I dunno...

I think I'd keep it. The damage doesn't look too bad, those running boards look like they saved you passenger side. I could be wrong but the only damage to the front looks like that front corner

Sorry to hear man, glad everyone was alright. I'd be devastated if it had been my own. But way to keep positive! I'd definitely look your tires over carefully like suggested above. And definitely do not be afraid to push on their insurance if you don't feel comfortable with the tires longevity.

Sell it before the accident hits a CarFax report.
Once it makes the report the value of your vehicle drops as you now have a vehicle that has been in an accident> Lots of buyers are leery about vehicles with previous accident history...

Hopefully he can seek diminished value from the insurance company.

I'm glad everyone was okay after the accident. That's a good looking truck. The damage does not look like it should a decor the longevity or operation of the truck; my2c
What sway bars did you install on the truck. Front and back ??
