Where are you breaking them? Are you running all the braces? Pics please. I have yet to break one and I beat the piss out of my rig. Later, Farmer |

I have only broke one. And that was after kicking my car the second time. The first time it took it like a champ, so I gave it a second kick just to show it who was boss. Even my dog can't take 2 size 14's. I have driven my car off a 10 foot drop on purpose and not broke anything. I would say its probably you.

| When did you buy it? How old is it. Were you just driving flat and it broke, did it fall off a 30 foot cliff, is it on a 15 pound bully. Did you PM Krawlfreak? More info would help greatly. Last edited by The Violator; 02-25-2011 at 10:30 PM. |

| How did this happen? It must have taken one hell of a tumble. Were you running all the spacers? Short of 1/4" steel plates, I don't think anything would survive that. Last edited by The Violator; 02-26-2011 at 07:41 PM. |

It looks like a large force from his rear uppers broke the bottom one. He might need to run a brace between the upper link mounts. As for the top one, I am guessing a tumble....not sure what to say there.

IMO, location of the braces is key. On my trucks I try to run the spacers between the shocks...
