and now that you say that, it does look a little un-even, the tire or suspension.. i need to check that out, it rode fine on the way home tho.
my obs drove fine after runnin up on a curb but the next day nahhhh it was all screwed up costed me an overhaul, on the rear diff, new bearings and etc...then a new axel on the driver side, uhh crap load of stuff, one thing todo is jack that rear *** up and take both the rear tires off and turn the truck on and throw it like in drive or even 1st gear, and if it wobbles that you found ur problem

That sucks about your truck, it couldve been worse though. It still looks good in person, and sounds mean since u got rid of the tips.

Goodluck with it.

I actually really like that. If I could find one cheap off of a wrecked one that was in a frontal crash, i'll take it in a heart beat. Thats a good 3-5 inches wider than the stock beds for the rear tire fitment.

Why do you need wheels so wide for anyways? It's not a tubbed out 1500HP race car, a pair of 10" slicks will be fine for you.

lol, ya i kno, I'm not going that wide, no need for it.

I'm getting an estimate tomorrow, so we'll see. Not sure if they are going to replace that whole side skin that lays over the bed(bed isnt damaged, vanilla), or if they are going to pull out that dent, i doubt it tho, theres no saving whats crushed in. But i'll have some $$ figures tomorrow.
