I straightened the stock axle on my blaster before I went with the aftermarket. I did it myself in a press and a couple of jigs I made. I turned out alright. I didn't have any "professional" measuring equipement or anything. I rode with that axle for a couple of months and it was fine.

imo id go with the aftermarket axle..
the stocker may be able to be strightened out.. but the stocker is what it is .. if it bent on you this time it will do it again the next time you hit that jump as well.. i think it would even be more prone to having an issue becuase it was fixed.. just my thoughts man. your going to put say $60 at least into fixing it why not just put it toward the axle that will take the hit..
