it can all be fixed just how much you want to spend... i would pull the pan off the tranny then drop the tranny out and inspect it check the bell housing ... that force had to go somewhere ... they drive shafts would have to be replaced... junk yard or new ....race car shops can build them at a decent price

Wow! That's some serious damage. Almost as though someone really meant to do all of that.
Around here a rear shaft from a salvage yard runs between $75-$125.

Don't even bother trying to fix those shafts you have. Either get shafts from a salvage yard or get new shafts cut.

The transfer case mount is where the force would be transferred to the frame, check the bushing but it should be fine.

As for the front springs, they where a flat spring (no arc) when new, but most have sagged to a negative arc.

This looks familiar! I bought an M880 and they had bent the rear shaft the same way. After that, I was at a GL yard picking up an engine in a container. There was a truck in the way of the container, so the forklift guy just entered from the side and picked it up and moved it. I proceeded to in no uncertain terms tell him that is how they destroy the shafts, etc. in customer's trucks, and if they respect their customers. to quit doing that.
