What do you do to do that to a shock?? Jump the truck?
Wow... Or are the roads just that rough?

There gotta be something wrong with the suspension geometry, I run the fuk out every vehicle I own and have jumped all of them, Ive blown lots and lots of shocks but never once bent or broke a single one.

Fuck Me.

I wouldn't give a fuck about unlimited warranty - one day you just might run out of luck with the failures - let me count the ways.

Picture is weird, but the lower mount looks seriously out of line with the upper. No amount of 'cupped' washer / rubber top mounts will help things, especially if the bottom eye pivot is not a heim joint. And that's probably a typical car crap rubber or plastic 'bushing'.

You work on cars? Take the spring / damper medium out, run the arms through their travel, check the alignment - fix it , if it needs to be.

Another great way to fuck things up is when a shock is used for a top out / bottom out stop, if they weren't made to do that job.

As I said, one day, a failure may just hurt / kill you, or some other innocent person(s). It's fine to put yourself only at risk, but not others. I'm fairly heated on this, as a close friend of mine died because of some fuck-wits car suspension failure.
