bent rockers, fix em or leave em?

[silver4est]

both rear rockers and pinch welds are bent, almost looks like rear pass door got kinked but hard to tell in photo. just something on craigslist I came across and am thinking to inquire about it, really clean otherwise

just curious about this damage and how it could happen, incorrectly lifting the truck?

Looks like the person didnt know how to jack it up. But you gotta figure if you mess up one side dont do that again to the other! LOL

Maybe he wheeled it with the running boards on?

That truck has no rust for Michigan! Buy it!

its at a dealer in Wisconsin, 1 owner from texas. no cause for alarm/concern about the rockers? just had to ask for more qualified opinions than mine

Depends on what you are using it for:
Dedicated trail rig - leave it & put on sliders
Nice DD - get it fixed with a dent puller or weld on new ones.
You could also cover the rockers with bed liner. Thats probably what I'll do to my 3RZ because I'm getting rust in the rock chips from my MT's.
I'd be worried if the paint is chipped or cracked though, it's a good place for rust to start.

will defiantly look more into it. would be a daily driver.

I wouldn’t worry about it. I agree, it was probably from a jack in the wrong area. Easy fix. Any auto body shop should be able to pull that out with no need for paint. Might not be perfect but it would be good. They have special clamps to put on there and then pull it down, or you can do it yourself.
