    Just cut the cross member out and the frame came right back to its original position.
    Now to try it again, wish me luck. Kurt

    Hopefully it will work out for you, good luck. I had the same thing happen to me, my frame was perfect and I decided to weld in some 1/4" plate steel gussets on my front kick-up and it ended up bending my one side up 1/4". I heated the gusset with a torch and cooled it with water and it bent it 1/8" at a time, so after two tries it was back to normal. I really didn't want to cut that front end off but I wasn't gonna leave it like that.
