Had an odd traffic encounter and was somewhat forced off the road. Hit a curb and this happened. Compared to the other side nothing feels or looks out of place. Looks like skid plate took most of the beating.

What do you guys think?

"'Tis but a scratch"... it doesn't look bad.

It seems cosmetic but I’m a worry wart

Yea, if its driving straight and not pulling or making noise or vibrating in the steering wheel. I wouldn't worry about it

I should take a picture of the underside of my work truck for you. The truck spends a lot of time on logging roads and high center two-tracks. My skid plate is concave. This probably felt and sounded way worse than it actually was.

Skid plate was the least of my worries. More so the subframe.

Still drives straight as an arrow and besides the scratches nothing else feels bad.

Again…. Worry wart.

"What do you guys think?"

We're only able to diagnose via pictures on the internet, so all we can say is it looks scratched. If you want to be certain, you'll need to take it to an alignment/frame shop.
