Just noticed another thing, the u-bolts are installed wrong.. LOLOLOL

Some people do NOT need to be working on vehicles.

Edit: Anyone else notice that he also removed 2 leaf springs it looks like? He wanted to lift it but removed 2 springs at the same time...

Edit again: Look closely at the caliper, there are no brake pads installed... LOL

OK...so today was probably the worst day of my life. First things first...ive been around cars my whole life and im 18 years old. I just finished putting an 8 inch 3 inch body on my 04 smoke titan. I did the sha bang i painting my suspension components, my axle, my driveline, everything looked beautiful and i was just leaving my house to go get my 37 inch kuhmo's and 22 inch KMC wheels mounted. I drove about 200 feet and i started to accelerate when i heard the loudest thing ever and my back end dropped. I am the luckiest yet unluckiest person for 2 things. not lucky cuz my axle came out but lucky cuz the body landed on the back tire cuz i was turning when it happened so the truck didnt just fall to the ground. So thats that my question deals with the way the leaf spring is supposed to be mounted. I made sure everything was absolutely correct before leaving today yet this happened. So are the U bolts supposed to be bolted on over the stock bump stop the way they are stock or are you supposed to put them just directly over the leaf spring or is there a aftermarket bumpstop i was not given or whats up??? Cuz thats where my problem came from. The place on the bumpstop/u bolt mount where the u bolt hangs over bent right down on both sides which allowed my entire rear end to give out. Ripping brake lines, bending new shocks, scratchign my new blue paint, bending my shock mounts, brake mounts, and even my quarter panel. NEEDLESS TO say i was pretty dang pissed today. It sounds like a lot of crap to be fixed but luckily nothing is really expensive cuz ive had to save long enough to just get everything done. Well ill appreciate any info or help i get. thanks

yeah, that's the whole point. he accidently rotated it 90 degrees and didn't put the U bolts on right which caused it to come apart. that was just a stupid mistake.

U bolts are backwards, lifting blocks look like they're AFU (180 degrees backward), Pinion Angle is WAY too steep...

Something had to give.

This is one of those times you oughtta RTFM.

How could he not figure out that u-bolts mounted on top of rubber bumpstops won't keep your axle in place? lol
