Steering problems.
my steering has broken twice right at the connection of the steering linkage and the top of the hub assembly...at the moment the truck is stock height with 35's. What could be making the bolts shear off like that?

I've never heard of that, but here's a theory:
The surface between the knuckle and the arm has been worn smooth from the last time it came loose. Now, there's not enough friction between the two to keep it from slipping. Take the two apart, and really abrade the surfaces with sandpaper or file, then put back together and use locktite on the bolts.
