    I'm two for two on taking the truck on a trail and getting it knocked out of alignment. First time was an easier route and I heard a little more knocking/clunking making me think the LCA cam bolts were shifting, but second time everything was confirmed tight and just encountered some decent size rocks/drops. I've been looking at the JD Fab kit and the Marlin Crawler weld-on LCA reinforcements to prevent this in the future, but don't know if the MC kit is made for this or just to prevent the cam tabs from bending. Anyone have any experience with this?

    I just get the lifetime alignment. Shouldn’t knock it out unless you’re jumping it or something is loose.

    Must've been loose then, I'll have to check torque again while the skid plates are off.

    The thing about those cam bolts is they can be so frozen that the nut will feel tight but the whole thing is still shifting around in the frame holes
