anyone else ever had trouble with their bolt-on (four) link coming loose? perhaps this is a general maintenance issue, but sometimes you learn the hard way. bolts around the diff came loose and broke off.... mine is from several years ago so there are only 5 bolts around the diff.
THEN my end link stripped out, and going around a corner I dropped and DRAGGED a link bar haha wasn't funny then....talk about a bad feeling...

any more wasn't-funny-then suspension linkage stories??

Ive had problems with the nuts on the link bars coming loose at first but I fixed them by putting some loc-tite on there.   With anything custom, you gotta keep watch on stuff.  Im always under my truck checking for things.  


I dont have a story related to suspension parts coming loose but I do however have a story.
I pulled up to the local hang out and layed my truck out.  Figured I'd let the compressor run for a minute before shutting the truck off.  Before I shut the truck off someone wanted me to raise the truck back up so they could see my new watts link.  I just reached inside the truck and hit the up buttons  on my ART controller and the truck started rolling forward.  The truck was running and in gear, but with it layed out it was just sitting there.  I got it stopped in time though before it hit anything.

hahaha NICE!
I'm always afraid of that happening, esp. when mine was on remote for the air ride. If I'm around other cars/stuff, I try to be INSIDE for that exact reason.
That rocks though.
How about a link to a pic of your truck?
Coo.
