Here in South Jersey, we got around 6inches. That really sucks. If you are somewhat mechanically inclined, buy the upper bumper and have it painted and put it on yourself, then try to shape the fender and cover it with factory fender flares.
It will cost you 1000 bucks easy for parts, labor and paint.

I had extensive front end work done to my truck last year because of an accident. A lot more than you're looking at so judging by what I had done and what the cost was I'd say the $1000-$1500 range is probably right on.

This is why I am super picky about used vehicles.

Good luck with the repairs. Sounds like your buddy is hooking you up though.

Hey, times are tough. And to save hundreds by doing it yourself is a great thing.
Also, it really depends on where you find the used truck. There are a lot of shady places that do crappy work to fix vehicles.
