Long story, but my rear bumper got tagged, Brackets are bent for sure, but looks like the whole thing is twisted. Think a shop would be able to fix it, or do I need new everything? Maybe just new brackets? thanks

You might get it back to pretty straight if the brackets are fixed first. It won't be 100% though but could get it fairly close.

I would save your money fixing what will eventually bend again and invest that toward an aftermarket rear bumper that can give you more protection.

Based on that blue connecter that you have in your receiver you probably did it to yourself pulling something. If you are going to continue to do that then yes buy a better stronger bumper.

I agree with the going to an aftermarket wraparound

bumper. Some cool ones out there. This is ARB’s (not my truck!) for @ $700. Wish I had gone this way instead of $5000 to fix a bent p/u box!
