damn that sucks Renzo, I'm guessing maybe it cracked while we were wheeling?

I just looked at your profile and see you have the skyjacker lift, they've been know to break the track bar brackets off the axles, front and rear. You definitely should do what WOL said. Do a search you'll find some threads on the subject.

Good luck

you didn't mention what bracket you broke? I'm ONLY gonna guess the track bar bracket...and these are notorious for breaking with the extra leverage exerted on them by...wait...you guessed it...AFTERMARKET LIFT KITS...so you say it's 'their' part that broke...well thats most likely because of the stress YOU put on it with aftermarket parts...I'm with RCJeeper on this (your not a minority brother!)

...I guess so....I can't agree with this logic, but I suppose everyone has their own interpretation of personal responsibility

sorry dude, but you are in the WRONG on this one. doing that is just plain BS. 9 times out of 10 I wouldn't side with a dealership... but wtf man? you can afford to pay for a lift but you can't spen $20 to build up a damn trac bar mount when it is a KNOW issue?You probably paid more in gas gett ing to the dealer that it would have cost to have repaired. If I were the dealer you would have gotten the 4 corners tapped just so it would break again.
