My thoughts exactly, PIC's! WOW HOLY $hit!

It would be great if you can get pics of BOTH the original and the new brackets to see if they are heavier duty.

Do you have a leveling kit on? if so which one and how is it installed? Compressing the spring or on top of the strut?

Thanks,
LB

it happend around a month and a half ago i was to drunk and pissed off for pics lol but the front end and everything else is stock besides my pipe and cold air the dealer concluded it was a weak bracket that caused it but they did report it to dodge but i havent heard anything on the recall they had the truck for 11 days just to do that the dealers here suck and the people that work for them are all retards ... here is an exapmle my dad took his hemi there cause it was running crapy and the dealer told him his motor was blown my dad went up and changed the spark plugs and it was fine .. lol true stuff i have more dealership stories for chevy and ford but i only like dodge so
