    Definitely big air but do you have any photos of the truck and suspension after impact? Can't see much through the cloud of dust.

    You're looking at an easy $4k on just parts alone. Then after the parts you will need to have a rear axle wide enough to clear the shocks on the frame and then a cage to hold the shocks. After you will need to relocate your gas tank since it will be in the way and re-plumb it to keep it secure.

    Here is my truck articulation with the links;
