    Don't see it?.. here is a closer look...

    oops2_c708756b9bbd7fff4131740cb761051d885d1c10.jpg

    Yes I drove it this way for a week, I heard a clunk as I hit the summit of a Wal-Mart speed bump only to look under and examine this:eek:. This is how I got it back from the shop that installed my 5100's and AAL. I managed to find a local repair shop and made a temporary bolt up. I now have a low vibration from a stop, hoping I didn't do any damage? Going back tomorrow!!!

    Seriously! A good pothole on the highway could have ended you or even your truck!

    Tell them to give you some free tires or something... cheaper than your family suing them if you would have died from it.

    And why did they pop off the U-bolts to put on a shock? Weird.
