I hit a curb about 2 ago on the left sidebecause of some idiot coming at me head on. I bent both my rims. My truck is sitting slightly lower in the front left and sitting a little higher in the right a$$ end. And the truck is driffting to the left a little bit. But the truck dose not ride that bad. Just drifts. Do you think i need new shocks. And an allingment. Because if i need new shocks i was going to order my lowering kit. thanks please let me know what you think

If it is "sitting" such that it is noticably "****-eyed", then you probably bent/broke something other than just a shock. I'd get it into a tire/wheel/suspension/front-end alignment shop and have a real close inspection done while it is in the air.

Most trucks don't measure the same from side to side to start with.
If it's drifting, it needs an alignment. It's also possible you bent more than a couple of rims.
Have alignment checked and make sure you didn't slide the rear axle when ya hit the curb.

Lower & upper control arm, ball joint, shock, & sway bar could all have been affected if you bent both rims...
also out back, axle, rotor, leaf spring, hanger & shackle... lots of damamge potential... those parts aren't designed for sode loaded... harsh impact... up down, front rear even is hard on them..
get it on a frame machine & let them measure it properly... you are going to want to call the insurance company first... this is gonna be expensive & time comsuming....
