So I'm putting everything back together after getting trussed and the black plastic cover fell down on my passenger side rocksport and i see this! Could regular wheeling cause this bend? I guess ill be ordering some new Reds (the longer ones since I went to 4.5") springs and tell the wife itd be "another week")

I figure if you're trussing an axle your regular wheelin is more in line with my definition of regular wheelin. 🤣

With that being said regular wheelin can break axle shafts and ring and pinion don't see why it couldn't bend a shock.🤣

I’d be checking top and bottom shock mounts. If one or both are misaligned it could bend the shock.
