Broke both lr shock shafts at the extensions last nite. Droop limiter in tact, rod positions in standard Rocket locations. Sheared off 1 bolt in each shock mount on birdcage. Track was wet and heavy but smooth!
Has this happened to anyone else?

Thats possible, but they were checked during our weekly maintenance. Ive always in the past bought longer bolts and put a nylock on, just in case.
Negative on the drop.......havent measured everything to get the right driveshaft.
