Depends on how bad the dent is and what gears are you currently running. If its a little ding and you have 3.42 gears, do the gears if you have 3.73s and a bigger dent fix the dent. There you go I was a big help wasn't I. Lol

yeah deductible is 5 big ones, and the dent is in the corner of the cab with the paint scratched to the rear fender. it's not much, but tears fell from my eyes when i saw it. i couldn't even look at my wife for a couple of days. like a child seeing his dog get run over. but it would be nice to wake it up a little with 4.10s

Dents are unavoidable. There is a HUGE long indent in the base of my driver's side door. No clue how it happened. Possibly someone rammed a shopping cart into thedoor. Also someone pushed in my rear bumper. Just gotta deal with it.

Make wife pay for dent repair or "work" it off with paint man, and you spend your money on gears
