Default need help with front suspension

i was making a left turn and hit a curb, a buddy got a forklift and tied a chain to somewhere on the front suspension and pulled it back somewhat, in the process he almost pilled my lower control arm through part of the front subframe..
so i need to know what exactly do i need to replace to get it fixed, is it the k-member, or subframe, i do not know, thanks in adavance

That looks like a mess. Is that grey epoxy smeared all over the place in that one photo? A prior repair? In any case, short of just replacing everything (K-frame and LCAs at least) I think you'll need to take it to a frame shop to see what they recommend. NEVER try to re-align your frame or suspension using a forklift. Its a waste of time and you will cause additional damage. Was your buddies beer at least COLD when he asked you to hold it while he climbed aboard the forklift?
