bent my rails a little,can i bend them back? with pics

well i bent my rails on my 07 m6 153, i landed on a ridge and bottomed out so bad that i also bent the front arm as you can see, i was wondering if it could be possible to bend my rails back and add stiffeners???look closely in the first pic, the rails arent flush on the bench, in the third picture if you look at the front of the torsion spring they look as if the suspension is compresed because they are sticking out of they holder a fair bit, even though the back end of the sled is in the air, could this be caused by the rails? and in the fourth pic the top of the shock is rubbing on the track, but yet once i removed the skid the shock wouldn't rub anymore and the torsion springs went back into their regular positions, so did i do more than just bend the rails and front arm?as for bending them back the damage happened around where the middle boggies are, it looks bent the whole way in pic 1 but its off the bench cause its bent at the boggies if you get what i mean, my rant is now done........

Just my 2 cents

Sorry to say but I think those rails are toast. We had a 136 that we bent back and it was mildly bent as well. It was not straight so where the bump was took the skid load. The transfer was off and the hyfax wore very quickly at that point as well. The front arm assembly will also need to be replaced it looks like. It may be able to be bent back but now that it is weakened do you want to risk it?- If they break it is going to cost alot more $ than if you would have just replaced them. Hit up the Classifieds for some parts. :nod:
