hey bro jack it up and take a picture of it underneath, we'd be able to help you out a little better that way. for all we know, the axle could just be knocked out of the alignment pin and is an easy fix

Put truck on a hard level surface.Center the steering wheel.Take a tape measure and measure distance between the center of your front wheels and the center of your rear wheels on each side.Loosen your u-bolts holding axle in place and see if u can center ur rear axle that way.Retighten bolts.I would check tires and wheels cause if u hit that hard u probably have warped a wheel and broken a belt in ur tire.Have truck aligned at first opportunity.

There is a good possibility that the leaf spring center bolt/pin was sheared off as Mark stated and pushed the axle back on the driver side.
You will need a new leaf spring center bolt.
Jack it up, take the wheel off, take out the axle u-bolts and you will see that the center bolt has been sheared.
