If you have a toy like mine in pic it's a real simple fix .
Assuming you do not it is still easy to fix .
Like already mentioned holding it down is the key .
RF and LR are high so you need to hold them down .
Holding down should be done AROUND THE MAIN FRAME RAILS at the front and rear crossmembers .
Once secured put a sturdy bottle jack [ or whatever ] UNDER THE MAIN FRAME RAILS directly under the crossmembers LF and RR .
If you have it secured well it will bend fairly easy and go in baby steps as you don't want to go too far .
When level check the X measurement to see if it has any " diamond " to it .
Feel free to PM me if you want as I have had that frame rack for over 25 years and have straightened MANY things on it .
DO NOT HEAT your frame .
Not needed anyway .
A copy of the frame dimensions would be good to have also .
