How many people have actually had issues with this?
Which part? The upper or lower shock mounts?
I will speak for myself...
On my upper mounts, having them relieved of metal to allow the ICON 3.0 shocks to fit. I would feel better with a little extra reinforcement, even though it is not necessary.
The lower mounts, I have hit both sides on rocks and other immovable objects. So much so, that my driver side was bent and had to be "adjusted" to allow new shocks to mount to it..
