Went wheeling the other day and I tried to pop the front end up on a shale pile and I guess I got the whole truck 4ish feet off the ground...What should I check for damage? Drives fine but the front fender got a little bent.

Look for damage under the hood, to the ground and from the grill back to the doors. At least give all the front driveline, susoension, and steering a once over.

Sounds like you just jammed a tire in the well to damage the fender. Check everything for tightness and consider yourself fortunate.

From what I've seen so far the only real damage was to the tops of the swaybar endlinks, I'm running stockers w/a 4"lift(for now) and the tops bent back towards the coils. It was kinda cool tho...
