Now how am I supposed to ever win a prize if Heyyou is on here 24/7?
Yes, its the sway bar end link. Give 'em your truck info and parts stores should have it. Must have been cornering hard? That's what the sway bar is there to do: keep the truck planted in a turn. Came on HDs in the rear. All front ends have them. Technically, the sway bar is an "anti-sway bar" and those end links (what you broke) transfer the torque from axle to frame.

That'll do it, too. Unless you drove the trip in a perfect straight line, that much payload will lean hard around any turn, no matter how nice you drive. Plus, end links are pretty cheap and don't last long anyway.
