Appreciate any comments you may have.

I just bought an '03 K2500HD that turns out to have a bent frame. The front end is bent upwards about one inch, so the winch bumper angles up slightly.

I can't see any obvious bend or damage on the frame, but the front of the frame took a really good blow, evidenced by the bent skid plate under the front axle. Measurements show the frame isn't twisted.

Question is: Can this be left as is and can the wheel alignment be set with this amount of damage?

Thank you.

Take it to get an alignment, that's prolly the best way to find out. I'd think if it's in front of the suspension and any mounting points, it would prolly be OK.
