Cracked Front End Part

Cracked Front End Part
I was just in the middle of doing the V Code leaf spring swap and noticed a broke part where the u-bolts sit and what looks to be attached to the trac bar. The piece is broken in half and I am not sure how this happened or when. Looking for advice on how to repair. The piece is welded to the axle.

that's not good. do you have larger tires on or do a lot of offroading? The stress of either of these could have caused the failure. I would get that fixed ASAP, looks like you'll have to cut the old bracket off and weld a new one on. A good weld shop might also be able to fix the existing bracket and reinforce it.
I'm guessing since it has leafs it an '04 or older.
