well a couple weeks ago i was backing out of a parking spot and caught a down telephone wire and i went to take off and it bent the bumper out and i have done the jack trick (w/ a 10,000lb lift) so if anynoe was an idea on what else to do it would help


Thanks,
Wes

Id back it close to a wall, put the jack against the wall, and put a 2x4 between the jack and the bumper and push it that way. Might try and go a little further then needed so it when it "springs back" past tension it will be right
