You would probably do better just doing an insurance claim, those parts are going to be super expensive

Glad it wasn't worse. But a good lesson for everyone. Don't be stupid, especially when the road conditions aren't good.
Were you on stock summer tires? Even in the cold its sketchy driving on those things, just no grip when the temperature drops.

I know your pain. Pulled out of my parking-lot one night - black ice, 30km/h (max), slid into the curb and did $600 between the front and rear hubs/tierods/allignment/etc.

*this was in my old car - I would have just driven over the curb in my truck lol

Well good thing is that your safe and im sure u wont do that again.....Hopefully you have comp n collision on your policy depending on your deductible that might be a better option to go through....just be sure you dont mention you were foolin around.

Im glad you are ok and didn't get hurt, but keep it safe and do the racing on the track.

Now sounds like a good time to get some 20" rims to replace those stockers.

That sucks majorly...I grew up in New Cumberland and Camp Hill, but that was back when I was 13 or so - never had a license in PA, so I never drove in freezing conditions back then.

I'm with what everyone else says - insurance claim if you have full coverage, otherwise start bankrolling some $$ 'cuz it won't be cheap...

I would go through insurance man. I crashed mine(read my welcome thread)
these parts are expensive. I didn't have insurance at the time and it was pricy. wish I did.
insurance might go up a lil depending on the "story"
Good luck with the truck.
