I forgot to mention how I braced it. I welded a 1/4 " thick metal brace from the top of the track bar brace to the top of the arm bracket. It's a straight shot. The bottom of the track bar bracket I welded a 5/8" thick peice of metal to the bottom the spring holder. Here are some pics that I hope help. These are somewhat hard to reach areas, to weld and photo. But I also had to weld and reinforce the broken bracket areas.

I did have the relocation brace from skyjacker, I think from them. But like someone else said, it added torque to oem brace. and thats what broke, the oem brace, in half near the axel
