There really is no way of determining if there was damage without actually being present, but don't worry about it. Sounds like an old case of curb rash, nothing to be worried about

Just your alignment and credablity as a good/safe driver.

Listen Firefighter150... you are driving a truck.

I recently jumped a curb... and I totally freaked out, as some people on here know.

Has my truck acted any different? No.

The worst you did is scuff the sidewalls, and lost some rubber... and possibly lost some sleep over nothing.

I'd highly suggest inspecting the tire that got the curb rash, by a professional. If they suggest having it replaced, then REPLACE IT. Don't give other good drivers like the rest of us and yourself, another potential danger out on the road.
