Brainchild Move, Need Help

I'll try to keep this short. 72 3/4 ton 4x4. I'm lowering my truck back to stock. That part is just about done. The springs, shocks, steering arm, steering arm connector, steering stabilizer, and pitman arm are all in. First time doing this and used all NOS parts for the lowering. So it's taken me about 5 hours , 2 blood blisters, and a lot of unholy words to this point. Heres where I got stupid. I wanted to make sure the wheels are going straight for the connector rod adjustment so I decide to raise the truck using the cross member thats right under the fan shroud. Before the brain cells started to work again, I got the truck up about 4-5 inches. just the frame, the tires never left the ground. I looked under it to see the damage but can't really remember how it looked before. Whats the chance I didn't do any damage? Anyone have a pic of the front cross member from the bottom? Can this be fixed by a body shop if I did bend it?

Thanks, Guys

IMO- only thing that would have happened was it got bent up, just like you were out "wheelin" and hit something there. I have heard of people taking out the rivots and replacing the crossmember, not hard just time consuming.
