From what I've read, it's not the greatest design, but I've also never heard of them (CPP uppers) failing. So far, so good. Cross my fingers lol

Isn't the load placed on the bolts more of a shear load unless he suspension is in full droop without shocks installed? There shouldn't be very much "pull" on those bolts under normal driving conditions.

I would think it would the weight hanging on the bolts, and would increase going over bumps and stuff going down the road, could be wrong though..
