I would get a heavy duty bracket and weld it on. BAllistic and ruff stuff have a sale going on for Veterans day. Rotate it forward slightly to get it properly lined up with your lift height. https://www.ballisticfabrication.com...bar-axle-mount Offset Axle Panhard Bracket - RuffStuff Specialties

^x2.

Buy a nice weld on raised bracket, and burn it on. I run the Synergy $90 weld on mount, but I bought it off a buddy who went a different route and never used it; the RuffStuff mount for $30 is the same thing, for a great deal.

Thats the issue with type brackets that simply bolt to the stock mount. Also using only one mount location. A better bracket would at least have a ubolt or welded to the tube itself.

I had that exact same thing happen while in Colorado....had just gotten to bottom of mountain when snap. Fun times. If you gotta fix it anyhow, a HD weld on bracket is a better route as these guys already suggested.
