The story is he used 1 LONG bolt to hold on the shocks and it was a grade 5 bolt to boot.

Wow, all that money and time and he cheaped out on critical mounting hardware. If that is true, he deserves what happened.

All show and no go.

Blew all three shocks off on the right side from that little bump. Useless.

You could fix the truck, but I'm pretty sure you still can't fix stupid.

If a fool and his money are easily parted, how did they hook up in the first place?

At least his custom break-away inner fender worked as planned and saved all of the broken front suspension parts from getting all dirty. Makes it a little cleaner to put it back together in the shop.....

Link includes close up of suspension prior to failure. You can see why it failed, probably not a bolt.
