Chris -- sorry to hear about the Ferd Attack!!

I took the same kind of hit in July, I had the pushed-in bumper on one side
too (but a bit harder -- the bed dented the cab!). My dealer tested the
frame, suspension, alignment, and everything was absolutely perfect. Hooray
for good, solid Dodge!

Also -- the Grand Am that hit me DID get a Dakota bumper through its grille,
headlights, radiator, and 1/4 of the hood. Hehehehehe!
