OMG, the passenger side was worse than the driver's side. It was about to tear completely around. Me thinks I got a little lucky. Just hucked it about 20' over some RR tracks earlier today.

I doubt that these would break if you've never aired your tires out and landed hard but then again you never know. I'm wondering how the stock shocks are holding up. I've had my 3.0's on soon after I got the truck so I didn't have much time on the stock ones but they were good when I sold them.
anyone else checked their mounts.
When it breaks you cannot tell unless you look at it like Madcow did. My Driver side looked just like his. You cannot tell by the ride, handling or noise. I could tell with the Chrome Moly replacements my front end sure felt tighter. I also think my front end looked a little lower when they were broken. Now it is sitting level again.
To check if you have aluminum or not I suppose you could take a little file and if it's aluminum it should be easy to file some aluminum shaving. If it's metal you should be able to tell by how hard it will be to get any filings.
There is probably a better way but that's the only way I can think of.
I hope no one else finds broken ones but it wouldn't be a bad idea to check if your shocks have been on for a while.

Now I get it. This is what the dual shock setup is for. When your coilover rips off you still have a shock for insurance. Ok now I'm done.

Yeah then we'd have broken rear mounts *********.
You icon street queens don't have the balls to hang with the real trucks.
