I'm not sayin ur lift is a pos, it's just not as reliable as most say IMO. He was just cruising through a field, it got a little bumpy and gave out.

Seen this happen on non modified vehicles. Looks like a broken upper ball joint to me. If so then it wasn't necessarily the lifts fault. How often are you rough country guys changing the ball joints??

That truck is sick! What mileage did you get towing with that beast? And that volvo is awesome, always wanted to do that.

Thanks bud. According to my Edge i averaged 11.5mpg.. while most of the time when i glanced down at it the instantaneous mpg was always inbetween 6-8. It was mostly interstate with plenty of hills.
