Yep, took it down to a local shop. A recommendation from friend up here close to the house. They jumped right on it did a great job and were inexpensive.. Happy to find a good welder up here.

Didn't know God welded?
Glad you got it all fixed. I installed my lift myself and the jam nuts kept coming loose shortly after. I just kept an eye on things and retorqued as necessary. They finally stayed put.

It wasn't just jamb nuts but I've spoken to the shop that did the work and was assured it would be looked into and an apology was tendered. And yes I did do more then 1 trip without checking things in between.
And God has to be a great welder..:brows:

I would have gotten out and punched that spotter. Worse spotting ever caught on camera. What the hell was he doing with his hands?

I guess the guy that did your track bar bracket is still on staff. [emoji23]
Glad you caught it before things got messy.

LOL.. That was my thought.. Apparently it's a factory bracket.. I would have thought they would replace the factory bracket.. It would make sense right??

No question the spotter should never have been spotting

My Saturday has opened up. Anyone available for a day trip? Calico, Cougar buttes, Motino, etc.

Same mount broke on me last April in Moab. That's what you get when you follow Fiend around for a day or two!

[emoji44] I didn’t remember that Doug. How’d you get home?

If I recall, he found it after he got home.
With 4 links and a track bar, you can loose a link and still get home.

Correct, I found it after getting home in Colorado. The bolt had come loose (backed into the extended bump stop which kept it from falling out) and resulted in the control arm twisting the bracket. The outside plate of that mount then broke loose where it was welded to the flange of the axle. I bent everything back into place and added some additional plates to beef up the bracket and it got me through the year. I am going to add some additional metal soon in hopes to further strengthen it. Flimsy-ass brackets. We have another member here, H8ROADS, who also ripped the same one off his axle a year ago!!

But, you do not have a stock axle on rear, correct?
