I've removed the front bumper extension and exposed the two frame rails. They are both bent slightly to the left (side of the vehicle) of center in front of the front suspension, probably about a degree off center. I would like to use a hydraulic jack and some fixturing to bring them into alignment, as I don't have a large tree or anything else to attach a come-along to. I'm assuming frame straightening at a body shop takes place without any application of heat to the affected area, but would this help in this kind of DIY situation, and could it be done with a butane torch (used for sweating copper pipe as in plumbing work), or does application of heat mess structural integrity of the frame, which is 4" x 2" x 0.120 cold rolled steel (I believe)?
A Porter Power "what"?
Oh, a Porto-Power hydraulic ram!
Thanks! I'll go rent one, sounds like an easy fix and will save me mucho dinero, plus I've already got a come-along!
You ROCK WildManny2!!!
