I knew they had a certain name, I just couldn't put my finger on it 
I'll get another picture of it tomorrow, it's too dark out there now. I was on what I think was levelish ground. I didn't think it was so unlevel that it would be that far off.

I don't think so. It wasn't hooked up at the time, but the front hitch does use the sway bar mounting holes. So if it is bent, I would think the frame rails would have to be bent too. How big of a deal is it if I did tweak the frame?

It turns out it was a little more flexed than I thought
at least nothing is bent though.
But while i'm thinking about it, how hard is too hard when your yanking from a solid tow point like a hitch? This was the first time I've been stuck and I was with my buddy in his 06 tacoma. He was tryin to pull me out but we were kinda takin it easy out of fear of breakin somethin. Until the big ole chevy showed up and free'd me.
