Default Rear track bar mount broke
My rear track bar mount broke off during a recent trip and I think how it failed is the extension provided enough leverage to break it off. Its one of those extensions you install with a lift. To fix it i added a square piece on the tire side and also a triangle section to hold up to the lateral forces. Before anyone comments on my awesome welding job, ya i know.

I am curious, this happen to anyone else?

Hard to comment on your welding when I don't see a picture.
