Is it possible to bend the frame of your car from scraping too hard?

I went up a ramp the other day and kind of got stuck. I just noticed today that there a lump now under my carpet of the passenger seat. I looked under my car and noticed that (what I think is the frame) is kind of pushed up is it possible to fix?

Most of us that drive lowered cars wouldn't drive up a ramp where the angle was too steep. We know where those parking lots are that have driveways too steep to enter or leave. I can't enter my own driveway without approaching at a 45 degree angle. The paint life of my KurumaZ bumper is two years maximum but that's the price we pay for being cool! (lowered) You could bang out the lump in your floorboard but I'd want to know what was in the area before I began! Maybe just a strong jolt from a size 13 boot would remove the lump?

I pounded down a lump in the floorboard of my old Subaru with a rubber mallet.

I can visualize going up a steep incline parking structure, not entering the next floor at an angle and getting hung up all the time scraping my exhaust and wasting my Impul sides effin nightmare!

No doubt, no doubt. You should see the entrance to my complex (live in a condo). Its about a 5-10 degree incline with a 45 degree decline on the other side. Why it was build like that is beyond me. I would scrape at stock height without an angle. Now I have to go about 2mph at an extreme angle or its scrapesville. I've been scared of getting stuck for sure. I actually have to go around to the other, more flat, side of the complex if there's a car parked on the street near my entrance. If there's a car too close I can't get the angle I need. I actually have my gf park near my entrance and back it up so no one else can park there to keep the driveway clear. Haha
