How many of you have broken a spindle/upright? What mods do you have to the front of your truck?

A spindle is what makes the UCA and LCA work together, a Knuckle is what I bust when putting said suspension parts together.

Breaking a spindle was one of my biggest concerns especially once i began to upgrade components and go faster. spindle reinforcement is highly recommended in my opinion

I'm curious if anyone has bent/broken a spindle while running the stock wheels. All of pictures I have seen that show damaged spindles are of Raptors with aftermarket wheels.
Given the extra leverage of 0 offset wheels, maybe this problem is related to that more than any aftermarket part attached to the spindle?

That's part of it. Move the center of the wheel further away from the ball joints and no good times. No noodle salad.
