Top hat and shock bucket are two different things, (just to be clear).

The factory Top has rubber components, (I don't know what SDI has) the Fox FRS has a solid aluminum top hat with a heim joint.

All the shock buckets in the dirty of road video that are cracked show Fox FRS solid top hats, so it would appear that if the factory top hat is strengthened the factory shock bucket becomes the next weak link.

I have to think, hard bottoming out or over extension is the root cause.
