Default warning to all that have replaced leaf spring shackles

this is a warning for any one that bought leaf spring shackles from rock auto I just had on break at the welds

I have re welded it and it is holding but you may want to looks at your own trucks for this issue

I will be removing the other one and welding it as well I thought they looked like crappy welds when I got them now I know
