Bent leveling jack and mount
I clipped a high curb this weekend and bent the rear curbside leveling jack and shoe plate. The jack still operates correctly (thankfully). Yesterday I hammered the shoe plate back to near flat - but the frame mount bracket is slightly bent, and there is a very slight bend in the jack just below the lowest bolt. A new shoe plate is $30 + freight from LCI and DW wants a shiny new plate.
Will I need a body shop to straighten the mounting bracket? Anybody out there ever attempted this in the home driveway? It feels like a $200 - $300 ticket for a body shop (just guessing).
