minor bend in frame
I have an 1996 jeep cherokee country with a 6'' lift on it. got in a minor fenderbender and the frame has a minor bend in it maybe about an inch, inch and a half. i was wondering if a come along and two trees would get it out or if just a snach on a tree. any suggestions on how i could get it out would be great. this bend affects my steering box slightly although enough that its hard to allign. any feed back on this matter would be great.

3 ways to fix.... Most costly... cut out replace with unbent frame have welded up..... 2nd take to a Body shop with frame machine..... or...3rd....find something to anchor onto that wont move... like big tree... and put her in reverse and yank back out...
