Another option is the remove the hitch, jack up the frame rails to get them back straight. Then, drill matching holes in the top of the frame rail and replace the hitch mounting bolts with longer bolts (grade 8) that reach all the way to the top rail. Nuts on top & bottom of the top rail, another nut on top of the bottom rail. That will tie the top and bottom rails together and distribute the hitch weight across both. No welding needed. Or could also use a section of pipe between the top & bottom rails with the bolt going through it and just one nut on top. Wouldn't really need to do all 3 on each side, just the one bolt at the rear would likely be enough.
