Could you attach some pictures of the damage? Prices very big time depending on what has been damaged and how hard it is to replace.

Re: Frame damage
It'll depend on exactly what's damaged how, and how much. Call a local body and frame shop to get it measured.

Re: Frame damage
Might have damaged the k member. The rear a arm mount can be damaged or torn off by impacts like that. Pics would help though

Re: Frame damage
Also be prepared to ask yourself if it's worth what it'll cost to repair.

This is what I was thinking. The k Member would be a lot cheaper / easier to replace.
