so how bad is this?

how hard did you "fall" onto that concrete!?

Surely it couldn't have been anywhere close to as hard as how many people on treat their rigs on the rocks.

I didn't think that hard.

yeah, I guess you're gonna have to take out a title loan or sell a kidney so you can afford a beefier long arm setup... That setup you have must be some serious weak sauce. why don't we cut the roof off and make it a buggy while we're at it, and you can tow it with your 2014 cummins dually...

I am quite amused by everyone using the "not everyone is made of money" sarcastic counterarguments on Sam.

Fine I'll use a different one. I don not have the required skillset to fabricate my own long arms so therefore I must do the best I can with the free replacement cross member and brackets.

 

[kastein]

That's fair, I can't really fault you for that.

I was just kidding around with the sarcasm. I too think it could have been designed a little stronger. But when he bought that setup, everyone was ragging really hard on short arm lifts, and not yet raggin on this particular setup. This is the first problem he's had from his setup, so I'd say that So far it hasn't been too bad.

Brian, we can always weld in some more metal to beef that thing up a bit, and even make some brackets to weld to it that will provide the option of running some bolts through the subframe. It can always be augmented for strength and durability. I'd recommend plating the subframe before we do that, though. Drilling holes in the stock subframe doesn't sound like it would help its strength any....

That's true. I got everything installed today. I'm taking her out to AOP this next week for the flog and I won't be doing anything too crazy.
