Ran into the backend of a car this morning and bent from bumper down about 20 degrees. What are your ideas on ....

placing a jack on each end of bumper and slowly jacking her up until bumber is reasonable straight?

 

Doesnt work when i tried just started lifting the truck u should take it off and see if it is the bumper that is bent or the brackets the bumper is bolted to either way a pain in the *** those brackets are a pain in the *** thick depending our much it is out the dealership threw some washers between the frame and bumper to lever it out for me idk just some ideas

 

Take the bumper off and put a tow strap around a tree then to a brackets and slowly back up and bend the brackets back. This work for me.

 

Baha ha i have thought of that was going to do it with another truck but tree seems more controlled might use a hand crank winch so i don't go to far

 

Those are sure better ideas than mine. Thanks

What year truck is your vent bumper on?

 

It worked pretty well with the tree. I had someone watch it to make sure i didn't go to far back

 

With my luck I would pull the tree down on top of my truck

Truck is 2010 F150
Looked for bumper bolts and found that this is not a slam dunk job. Not only are the bolts hard to get to, but wires for lights are involved. I may get an estimate by a repair shop. My budget is $200. Anyone believe I can get this done by a pro and be within my budget?

You ran into a car, are you insured? Can you just claim your damage seeing how your rates are going up anyways?
