Boarder I don't know if you should feel deterred in doing a lift due to these failures of you don't intend on putting your truck in the same position that others who have perhaps been more extreme have.
The situation that started this thread was as follows...
Steep muddy/wet hillclimb. He was near the top and started bouncing. He also had to turn right at the top. The Bouncing combined with the turning is what destroyed the EOE Tie-Rod Adjusters.
Let's not forget that his CL was admittedly bad when he tried all this. Which allowed movement out of spec for the Tie-rod ends and adjusters.
