well I think my only recourse at this point is going to be to beef up the lower link brackets, bk your right Kirby I have no space to go longer on my upper link. I don't think there is much chance that would happen again, I think it was a combination of the binding of the suspension, the fact that I came down hard on the link mount, the spring had popped out allowing the suspension to flex in a way that it normally wouldn't, and that my tire was wedged into a notch between 2 rocks pretty damn good. perfect storm of bs there haha, I've flexed this suspension quite a bit, and had flexed it quite a few times on the rocks that day. I think when it bent I was being very hard on it. overall pretty pleased with how it operated, if I build thicker link mounts and it still does this ill have to look at changing around my suspension but until then I won't worry about it.
btw Kirby thanks for the compliment on the photos, I actually think bII's are kind of ugly, but its starting to look better, and its good to see something odd on the trails, instead of 37 jeeps and a couple toyotas. There is one kid around here with a bII, his is on a d35 and 8.8 and he has a 302, course he is running like 8" of lift and the engine has been blown for around 2 years. but they are out there
