So I’ve done some fairly heavy wheeling the last few days and my SPC UCAs have actually punched though my fender well under compression in my 13 LC. Has anyone else had this issue?

That is impressive. What is your bump stop scenario?
 
Factory bump stops. They were definitely fully engaged.
 
Fully engaged? :oops: 😆 I highly doubt you will find another person here who has sent it like this, but if you do, I would like to see pics!

Yeah. I took a bad line...;)
 
@ga12r1 I do not have any good info but came to say this checked out. "Relatively Infamous" :cool:

If your shocks can handle the compressed length, cut out the damaged area and weld in a "bowel" to allow maximum stuffing. Combine that with progressive/active bump stops and Raptor, please hold my beer. J/k

Everything seems to check out. We did a parking lot alignment last night because the eccentrics sheared off the alignment tabs. My drivers door is hitting the front fender a bit when opening but I’m sure that can be worked out.
I ran Black Bear today and all is well.

Oh and I need to get another spare because the front passenger tire blew.
 
Time to rename that trail to Demo Derby. Door hitting front fender ... Crapola!

nice!! No air bag deployment? Sendy-McSenderson. This belongs on Trophy Burrough’s IG account.
 
This is insane! Kudos to you. Please tell me there is a video to go along with these pictures

Nope. It all happened too fast. Just a spur of the moment thing.

Are you on stock lower control arms or maybe Tundra LCAs?
 
Was flying intentional and is this a valid representation?

Were you jumping, did you feel the bottom out? Your tires are not rubbing the wheel wells first?
 

Wow, that was some landing then. Pretty sure the lower control arm functions as the stop. In this case, the suspension either traveled past that limiter, or the body deflected downward further into the frame than expected, or both.

What happened there?

That’s not the owner of a totaled Raptor, is it? :hillbilly:

Wow. I have never thought about the body moving downwards.
