Welp, after a few minor pot holes going about 40mph at night time, this happened. Clearly it must have been either partially cracked already or was very weak somehow. But it looks like multiple points of break. I felt the right wheel go kinda bonkers and was able to immediately pull over into a parking lot that i happened to be in front of.
I took a look in the parking lot at night and I didn't see what was wrong. Wheel hardware looked fine. So i drove home carefully. It was smooth still. So i was kinda perplexed. Then i spotted it in the daylight.
As far as I know, this is a Rancho 4" lift. No idea how old it is. Multiple people here in this forum have helped identify it by pics.
Is it a single bracket piece that broke? Or two? Anybody have any product knowledge that could point me in the direction of replacing this part? I will also reach out to Rancho directly.
It seems pretty accessible so maybe this is something i can manage to repair if i find the part(s).
