We were airing it out at Kermit yesterday so I figure thats what did it. Didn't notice it till we loaded up, but sure as shit its cracked. Different spot this time. I'll get some pics up in awhile after I tear it off. Dammit, ladder style just arent made for anything but drag racing I guess.

That is a tube style swingarm.  Ladderbar style is what you need. :thumbs:

Yeah that's a ladder bar.  Looks like the traditional tube style is the way to go.

I assumed that the ladder bar type swinger would be the strongest out of the available styles...I guess not.  You going with another ladder bar or something different this time around?  I'm thinking about doing a +4 ladder from SLC, but now I'm second guessing myself.

This is definitely the last ladder bar I buy. I'm going to the rectangle tube style.

I really like my metaltech swingarm, but it is a bit heavy.  Then again, I don't jump either.
