I went through this recently, check your torque arm and all the bolts (even the ones on top) that bolt the torque arm to the differential, make sure they didn't shear or back out. A hard hit like that can do that and you won't know about it until its too late.

Is the motor bogging down when you leave? See if you can make some all motor passes and compare them to previous all motor passes.

Could be a converter issue.

If you have a T-400 and you peddled out of the wheelie in 1st gear you may have rolled the sprag in the transmission.
