Default Good Idea ??

I have a 95 XL,the front and rear bumper's on the right side have twisted ends.

My thought is to put a jack under the tip of the bumper's and lift up the truck enough to straighten them.
Before I went ahead and screwed the pooch I thought I would ask you guys.

I've tried a search already...........

Thanks, Robin

Try it. I've seen people use chains and trees and highway guard rails to straighten bumpers.

BE CAREFUL, SAFETY FIRST.

You might try a really big pipe wrench. That worked on my back bumper. You could add a cheater pipe to it too to give you more leverage.
