Thanks George that is what I suspected. I bought the Teraflex Performance Leveling kit and it turned out the springs were too short, I had to remove them. The spacer lift is less risk IMO.
I eventually put the Suspension Stuff springs in which gave me a great result.

Na Wally, to me that looks like either longer shocks without bump stop extensions and slamming the shock to full compression a few times to break the weld, or, launching it over bumps and letting the axle slam to full shock extension.

Probably also stuffed the innards at the same time hence the no oil or pressure. Yeah the sideways twist from the relo bracket might twist the eye around like that, but only after the weld was broken. Can't see it actually braking the weld.

This is a result of poor Welding , There is no penetration to the parent metal if you look at the eye its not broken ,the weld has not broken either it just was poor fusion. would eventually happen regardless....... Just from what i see

Bumps tops are in and shocks had more run on them at bump stops, and no, I don't launch my car, I might take speed ramps (read crossing in the middle of 2 ramps) at normal driving speed, but it doesn't reach full extension on shocks, well, I don't think so

Ah yes, looking at it on the puter screen rather than the phone I see what you mean, shocking quality weld! The other side must have been a little better or the whole damn thing would have let go, now that would have been a bit of a shock!

I didn't realise it was rooted until I did my rancho swap!!! I was hoping to sell all 4 of them as they've only done about 10k k's.
