Default Check them weak azz welds

Just moved to Colorado this wk and I wanted to do a little sight seeing so I drove up to foot hills near Ken Caryl. Not even 20min into my drive I made a sharp turn and my ESP was acting a fool then I noticed metal grinding on the pavement, I pulled over to see what it was and the F lower rear tracbar mount snapped right off looks like I will be doing some welding tomorrow

The relocation bracket also puts more leverage on those welds, which is why (if any) relocation bracket is to be used, it's frame mounted. Rather than axle mounted. sorry to see it broke!

Yeah I knew the bracket would cause some stress I guess I pushed my luck a little to far thats what happens when you go the cheap time for a good weld and a rear adj trac-bar! Again you guys running rear brackets get ready for that MF to snap
