Shock problem

Anyone had there insulators fail after only about 50 miles on new shocks. I had sears roadmasters on my truck since 93 and figured it was time for new ones. Bought sky jackers from Jegs. My truck is a 75 f-100 4x4 with no lift. Got back from running errands today and heard a lot of clunking. All 4 insulators on the front shocks are smashed into nothing. The back ones are fine. Still have 4 inches from bottoming out while sitting and I didn't drive it hard, mostly on pavement. Jegs is sending me out a new pair tomorrow. Hopefully it woun't do the same thing.

Ive never heard of them going bad that fast. Maybe it was a bad run of rubber or something. Cool that jegs is sending new ones though. Good luck.
