That sucks man. Did you blow the shock, or did the lower mount break at the weld?

Looked like the whole shock sheared in half but I didn't look too close. I'll get better pictures when I tow it home at some point.

Whoa! Was this under normal driving conditions? At least they're guaranteed and backed.

I didn't weigh them sorry. They're heavy though, mostly due to the tires...

Pretty much, yeah. I went over a bump in a parking lot at about 10mph and this happened. I noticed it had been riding a little rough the last few days but didn't think anything of it so maybe it was bent previously and finally broke.

So here is mine did the f150lifts front coilover set at 3" and bilsteins in the back with autospring 3" block. Wheels are fuel mavericks 20x9 +20 offset with 295/60/20 nitto terra grapplers. Center caps are not on in the pictures because they gave me the wrong lug nuts and they dont fit. So I have to swap lugs out on my next day off. I had very slight trimming to do in the front to stop rubbing. In the rear of the front wheel well I still rub at full lock in reverse but only on driver side. Its not bad though just enough to hear it though. But aside from that which is out of f150lifts control I am very pleased with there coilovers. Alex must of answered at least 50 questions for me all while being professional and patient. The customer service like that is almost unheard of now a days. The ride is not much different from stock as far as smoothness goes it does feel like I feel the little imperfections in the road more. But its not bad just feels more in touch with the road I'm sure as it breaks in it will change some but I am pleased with the ride. Much better then I remember my leveling kit being.

Here's a few closer pictures of the damage. The shock broke at the bottom and when it slipped off the LCA it must have broken the piston rod. The tie rod is also bent. Hopefully there's no damage to the steering rack. I have no hard feelings towards F150lifts.com as they are handling it great. Alex is a awesome guy to deal with!
