And ruined a perfectly good pair of underwear in the process. Glad you were not hurt.

Glad you are okay and no one got hurt.

I use Zone Upper arms and I've beaten them to **** when I used my truck for work in the Oilsand Mines. 95% offroad everyday with a GoRhino steel bumper w/ 12k Winch , and I've 'Duke of Hazard' jump my truck on many occasions and never had problems with my Zone arms. Hell, the ICON Coilovers snapped and the Zone Upperarms did not (Now on Fox Coil overs)

Did so! I am not easy on my truck for sure, but it can take a beating like no other

No joke but if I'm paying $1000 plus USD for one coilover I'd expect that not to happen. Expensive fix with the axle etc.

Whoa!!!

 

[Sherman Bird]

I wonder if anyone has reported any failures to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or similar?

Why would YOU wonder? You OWE it to yourself and others who could suffer greatly to contact NHTSA yourself and open a complaint; request an investigation.

Yea, @crash68

Why didn't you report some random internet guys broken ball joint, back in April of 2021? You're slackin!

It's not too late......

Just kidding.
