It'll be a good desk paperweight... lol I'm not going to bother swapping it with my other one. I think it's still stronger than this one is!

That's quite a bit of weld to break.....both sides of the big wide plate, then those two reinforcements. Good thing is that in 2wd, you're good to go til they send you your replacement bracket. This honestly is the first time I've read/seen a part of the kit fail that wasn't the sway bar links.

did you pull that out of a JY?

LOL...no. That pic is actually Cory's kit when he got his...he's now solid axled. I got mine used from the guy in the ScrewHD that you met, and he got it from a guy who rolled his in Troutdale. He and I literally racing to go buy the kit...he beat me. Never installed it....sold it and got hte HD...I scored the kit. HAHA.

The JY near me (which BTW, is the f---ing HOTSPOT!) said that when they get a suspension lifted ranger in that they would cut me the lift complete for $350. They get rangers in a lot too! Exploders too.

Just keep an eye out... I managed to find a brand new in box one for $500. All I did was google "Ranger Superlift for sale" and I think it was the first or second result! lol
