I'd just make sure your x-member is straight and affixed with good bolts and if so call it done.

Thanks for the input guys.. Yeah, my next step is to pressure wash the frame and drive train.
I’ll look up the frame specs and see if I can notice anything with a tape measure.. I was thinking of swinging by a body shop to ask what they would charge to check my frame..
