Broke a drag link in a simple rock garden? HUH?!
OK... So I have a semi newly installed set of CURRIE D60 under my Jk and just put the Teraflex drag link on flipped (on top instead of underneath per their recomendation) and first time out it snapped like a twig.
I have wheeled the Teraflex flip kit HARD with the stock axles and am pretty sure it wasn't the drag links fault.
Anyone have any clues why it snapped? I didn't really do anything that I think warranted it. Currie says I really need hydro assist and it probably wouldn't have happenned.
Here is the breakage (notice how the bar is bent where it broke, can you say alot of torque!!!)
Here are some other photos for fun!

I have seen people snap drag links and tie rods. Its typically because one of the tires gets wedged between some rocks. The the driver goes to turn the tire, but they don't want to budge. So something ends up giving.
