    what happened to the rack? did you rip the inner socket out of the rack? if you have a jacked up lift ive seen strange things happen to racks, balljoints, tierod ends, hell even control arm and spindle damage.

    i would go after that 4 wheel place and say the rack blew up cause of their crappy lift.

    4 wheel wont fix it.. It truely has nothing to do with the lift kit, its my driving style, I make a lot of u turns and to do that I have to lean on the wheel to do it, and the truck came with a very poor rack to begin with.. alot of trucks see failures at 60k miles and mine happened at 55k with hard heavy abuse... the actual rack split in half... found a used one for 180 oem, gunna try to talk him down to at least 150 shipped or ill save up a few more weeks and order a brand new lifetime warranty one for like 250

    oh yeah seller said the used rack came off his friends totaled truck, with under 12k miles...
