Message	I can't imagine $3200 in damage from dropping your car down hard. Maybe if it fell off a lift, but I've had jacks collapse before while I was working on something and it did nominal damage, if any. If you can, fix it yourself and it'll probably cost you $200 in parts and maybe $1k in curse words. Chalk it up to a learning experience for having your wheels stolen, find something else to roll on and forget about insurance.
