I think this would definately NOT be a JB weld job. Take it somewhere and get it professionally done.

from this pic, it doesn't look like you have a whole lot of travel - most likely a result of being really low, looks like 3/4 down on the gc sleeve - have you been bouncing off the bumpstops lately? couple good whacks off the bumpstops would certainly cause that.

i would NOT bring that to a dealer, they will tell you to go blow - that should not happen under normal circumstances.

a good body shop may be able to help you, but it's too early to say.

sorry.
