How common is it for stuff to break on a lifted truck? I've broken a leaf spring bracket last summer and a lower track bar bracket last month so far. I haven't really done any serious off roading with my baby (I do show her mud now and then) and other than a few burnouts on my last set of treads, she's got a pretty easy life. I can guess that 1/4 inch steel plate is maybe gonna give eventually under the weight of a diesel engine, but it just doesn't seem right to me.
Is this just something I should expect? The local lift guy says I've got everything installed right, but doesn't have a clue why this happened. I've only got 77k on the truck.
Any ideas?
