Exclamation Right Wheel is not in center of the wheel well

ok so yesterday (9/23/13) i took my truck into the mud for the first time and it went great but on my way out of the spot there is a really steep hill i have to go down. So basically since my truck is lifted and all theat good stuff i couldnt see and there was a fire hidrant hidden in the grass so as i was rolling down the hill my right tire hit the fire hidrant. when i got home i noticed that the right tire is off center in the wheel well and it is scrubbing pretty bad. i need to know what i may have bent or hurt. i have a 4 inch suspension lift and leaf springs in the front if that helps with any ideas.

Thank you

How fast were you going when you hit it? Control arms possibly?

You could have bent upper control arm, lower control arm, steering knuckle, hub, inner tie rod, outer tie rod, wheel, drag link or the frame. There are many combinations of possibilities. There is no way anyone can tell you over the internet. It needs to be put on a lift or a jack and checked out. I would say it is probably not safe to drive.
