Bent frame, Camaro clip?

So I put my truck on the lift at work today because I noticed the passenger tire was out farther than the driver. After looking at it I found the frame is bent just in front of the trans crossmember. I've read a couple articles about putting a Camaro clip on our trucks. Seems people positive and negative things to say about doing it. If the frame wasn't bent I'd not be considering it. Reasons I'm considering it is I want the truck lower than it is and I have a Camaro clip on the side of the house. If you guys were in my shoes would you do it?

No on the camaro clip, if your frame is bent at the trans member it wouldn`t help you anyway, go to a frame shop, they can pull it back into spec.
