On the other hand maybe all the mounts would have been fine without the body lift. Who knows?
It was only the front on the drivers side. It was a pretty solid hit at 35 mph. I am against anything above 1" body lift. I think with stock body height they mounts would not of broke at all.

i had a 1" on my TJ, and after my roll, the bolts were fine, the frame mounts were screwed.
what grade hardware was on that 2"? i can't remember what my daystar came with, but i know it wasn't 8, because i remember the trip to get grade 8 bolts...

Agreed with upgrading the bolts. I never did like the looks of the un-marked bolts that come with the kits. (grade X). I do plan on using a 1" Alum bl.

They were un-marked I hope they were at least 5. I think even grade 8 would have bent like those the bolts did not break.
