Picture? If it were me I would not drive ( but I don't completely understand your situation). It sounds like part of your frame rail fell off? A tow is cheap ( free with AAA within 5 miles.) I would hate to see any more damage done. Good luck! Congrats on getting it off by the way.

This ^^ and mix up a spray bottle of transmission fluid and brake fluid. This stuff eats through anything. Spray it on and wait a few hours.
