Default Twisted and cracked spring mounts??

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue??

both sides, the mounts are bent and is pushing up into the floor, but the passenger side is starting to crack the floor, not sure how this would be fixed or is MM ready for the scrapyard? its booked in, in 2 weeks to get the rust in the roof done that's costing $1500 i love it but there comes a point where you start to think????

You been jumpin poor MM. ???

Someone hasn't lifted ya Jeep via the spring mounts, have they?? That's what it looks like to me.
Instead of placing the pads of the arms (2 post hoist) on the chassis rail, the pads have been placed badly on the ends of the springs.

The outside of the mount on both sides seems to be 'pushed' into the floor, man..

cheers

Hyperthetically how would this happen? Weak mounts or too much pressure on them stiffer leafs overloading the mounts?

Yes it has extended shackles,
Bruggz, well it has been jumped accidentally about 9yrs ago. But would have noticed by now,
But the hoist theory would make sense. Cause it does look pushed up

Extended shackles place extra force on the mounts when flexing which could lead to this, what bushes do you run in the leaf packs?
