My lower front mount got smashed so hard it's actually rubbing against the LCA I guess I'll be pulling off the LCA to try and bend it back out but it's pretty Knarly.

Anyone else's bed touchdown on the cab? Spotted the contact point scuff this weekend and since notice the bed is slightly shifted. My gaps are still equidistant on both sides, just looks to have shifted slightly. Not sure how much play there is on the bed bolts holes

Another truck in our group left with the same issue, along with a laundry list of other carnage

It looks like the left (pax) side is slightly out at the top of the bed. Check your frame to see it's bent.

Same thing happened to me Pat...on both sides. Was making a hell of a noise at full droop. The right side was so bad it tore the mount from the frame. A little redneck ingenuity to get straightened back out some welding and I'm good to go! My alignment guy just shakes his head lol.....

Haha yea mine is on the front side of the forward driver side mount. I have to take te LCA off to be able to get anything in it to straighten it out. But I'm tearing the front apart this weekend anyways to double check all the bolts and make sure everything's still good!

Cab Strikes happen eventually to everyone that hits it hard off-road. Mine also look like that on both sides. That beast ain't no queen :cheers:

Thanks Moto, The angle shown exaggerates it, but figured i'd inquire and look into some rear subframe support.

My passenger side paint looks like freddy kreuger handwashed my truck, i apparently favor one side down tight trails. Also, saw several other trucks with similar chunks from their NV & DS's lip. Conveniently I have a spare beauty ring to swap in its place.

Looks like you lost a chunk out of that tire too.
