Sheared leaf pins... Why?

i broke mine over the weekend trying to see how far i could climb the Sub up a tree in my dads yard :rolleyes: . Sheered the driverside front one off. I also think that having ORDs swaybar disconnects may have something to do with this... I dont believe its the disconnects themselves, more of the fact that since the swaybar is now hooked via shackles to the axle, it lets it twist more vs having it bolted to the Ubolt plates and mounted to the drop blocks like it used to be. Completely my fault of course but i was curious, and my curiousity was rewarded

I broke mine with the sway bar installed, I had replaced springs a week earlier, so yeah forgot to tighten them back up after giving it a work out.
The push pull steering is what makes it that most people will break the driver side only.
With the cross over, there is less chance to sheer them unless you hit a curb with brakes on.
 
I just put tires on my truck. I checked the rear u-bolts (I just re-installed the fronts). 7 of 8 did not have the proper torque.
