Drivers side frame cracked and broke in 2 at the shock mount. The rear spring shackle rusted off, while under load. The weight and loss of suspension height caused the shock to over-compress, and the frame split as a result.
This is probably due to the frame being rusted out around the shock mount due to a design flaw. The body has no rust but the frame is finished.
