It ripped the shock eye open. I guess I coulda been more detailed. If I had a welder it would be an hour or two fix.

Well to prevent it again, i would say check travel of rearend versus shock length, shock eyes shouldnt have stress enough to rip apart unless something else is wrong

Use 1/4" steel mounts rather than the thin factory ones = problem solved.

I agree with both the Snake and the Dog, shock length being the biggest part of the issue.
