The way I see it..

When you start upgrading stuff you start finding the next weakest link. Normally people upgrade shocks then UCA, then spindle is the next weakest.

Ya know on mine it was just the left spindle that bent - due to really coming down hard on that side on that big lop-sided jump. My spindle issue was not subtle like yours. My left front spindle was really torqued! Amazing it drove home ok with just a slight pull to that side.

I did have 3.0's which definitely diminish the forces exerted on the spindles.
I did not yet have aftermarket UCA's at the time. I had the bent one replaced with a stock spindle and aligned up. May have to replace the bearing later if it acts up. So far so good. I think that getting your ICON 3.0's and setting them up will help make this less likely to happen again

Then before you know it, you have a suspension capable of keeping up with the 6.2 and the next weakest link is in the driver's seat. Can you handle it! Lol

No doubt I am the weak link! A Raptor driving school in Texas would be great. If I could just get Treypal to meet me at Cycle Ranch one weekend, that would be a start! Hint.
