Default Re: Bent chassis

A laser level is relatively cheap and gets rid of much guesswork .
That will also answer the IMPORTANT question about what is really bent .

Your first post sounds like the rails are out of wack with each other = crossmember - x member issue .
Left rail low in front and high in back is a classic example of this . In simple terms this issue is like king kong grabbing the frame rails on both sides and twisting them in opposite directions .
End result one side is low in front and high in back .

A single beam does not properly address this issue .
A single beam will indeed straighten a side rail .

Please don't make the mistake of bending stuff before you are sure where the problem is .
