Yeah, I meant bending the mounts, not necessarily breaking pieces or tearing the welds.

That's 50 KSI steel. When the spring is bolted in, structurally, it acts as a square box section. Box sections are extremely hard to bend. The frame will tear first.
Thunderstruck Racing has never had a spring mount fail (thanks to my son). I have attached a picture of a sad event. Don't get too upset that it's not a Ford, or happy that it's a Jeep. It's powered by a Ford 408 with a C-6 behind it.
No suspension damage at all.
