I dont know what you have in the way of tools but it you can lay it out and fasten it down a PORTO/POWER should move it around . No promises .
If you dont have the tools take it to an alignment shop that works on wrecked cars and such they could tell you if it's repairable . Good luck and watch out for trees

depending on where it is bent...I have used jacks, wedges...big pipes...the worst part is getting the frame secured enough to pry on it. Even then your probably going to stress some joints..etc.

A frame straitening shop for autos should be able to help you out.

where did you bend it?
