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?
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...Fully engaged?
@ga12r1 I do not have any good info but came to say this checked out. "Relatively Infamous"
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.@ga12r1 I do not have any good info but came to say this checked out. "Relatively Infamous"

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!
Fully engaged?

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

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.
Fully engaged?
What happened there?
That’s not the owner of a totaled Raptor, is it?

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