I was wondering if this frame damage is relatively normal or is it cause for concern? I slipped up a little while going over some rocks not too happy about it.

Damage towards the front like that can cause issues with the driveshaft slip into the Transfer Case. My first truck was bent at the back cross member and a hard bottom out under power would cause the driveshaft to push the tcase into the bottom of the cab, really loud banging noise.

I'd say where that dent is will be ok though.

The truck still drives the same and I haven't noticed any difference in shifting, I just wanted to check to see if it would cause the frame to become weaker or anything along those lines. I really appreciate the help from everyone.
