Default Broken leveling kit component

So I went camping this weekend and noticed a rattle and slight loose feeling on the steering wheel. I climbed under the truck today to check it out and found out my Truxxx leveling kit shock extender was broke clear in half. Now I don't abuse this truck like I used to so this came as quite a shock to me! I don't want to badmouth Truxxx as the kit has been in the truck for 2 years and seen a lot of abuse. Just might be something you guys should check out if you have these parts in your kits.

Anyways I welded it all back together and replaced both front shocks today. The passenger front was completely shot and the drivers was bent due to the mount breaking off. Rides like new again, gonna start changing shocks out every 60k now I think.

My kit didnt have shock extenders....I just have longer shocks and coil spring spacers....should be good! Thanks for the heads up, though.
