Looks like the plate that holds the shock mount, no?

Weld it back together and get back on the trail. :mrgreen:

Get rough country to replace it. BDS will, I assume RC has a similar warranty.

You may not get much back from them since you already fixed it. Most companies I work with, will not warrantee unless they get the defected parts back for inspection, which was ruined(per say) when you repaired the part.. But dunno, they are great to work with, hopefully they will take care of it for you.

Can anyone list any BDS failures? Not shocks, just the front end lift they make like the RC kit.

Wheel anything hard enough and you will break it, doesn't matter who made it.

My Rough Country lift sees a lot of wheel lift/bounce... the spacers have yet to show any signs of fatigue. Dame's probably just had a bad weld. For the $149 I paid I'll happily weld it back together if it breaks.

I for one am happy to see folks wheeling our trucks hard enough to break stuff. That tells us where the limits are.

Just figured I would toss out my favorite lift since others got brought up.

I know rough country makes good stuff and stands behind there products. It is good to see them really used and to see them take care of a customer.

Any lift is better than lowering...

Haha yea it was just a design flaw they should have thrown a weld in side the lift also. It's all good they are sending me new ones back ups I guess. The tb has been takin a beating wheeling with these guys up her in wm im surprised that is all I have broken so far.

Whoever welded those must have come to work hung over that day. Mine are still fine.

those of us running the 2 inch spacer from rough country, can we put the top spacer from Mark on top of that or one similar or does his top spacer only work with his old lift?
