Any hints where the crack was found in the pics?

I agree, that would be my guess, but anybody who would drive it that way with that "fix" is really taking a chance. That looks like a poor repair, of a bad design.

A thicker tube solution is only a band aid for normally a poor design. The failure issue will not be removed unless the thickness is dramatically increased. I would suggest figure out from a few knowledgeable sources what is causing the fracture, what solutions are likely to fix it, and then decide the one best for you. Copying it often seldom gives a customer a better solution, more likely the same or worse. This is a non redundant catastrophic failure part. You don't have the luxury of OEMs of doing a lot of FEA/destructive testing, etc. You need to get it right, you(?) were lucky the first time, eventually the odds will catch up with you.

So then maybe go a thinner tube and save some weight and go faster?

That Challenger has always been nice and fast! I hope you can find a solution to the problem. Years ago a friend purchased a Magnum Force front end for his Dart and encountered problems during installation but eventually got it to work. He sold the front end to my mentor/ trans builder/friend for his sons Dart and its working well now. I didn't get to see you at Mopars at the Patch , I didn't have my Dart there and my friend was racing my pickup due to a knee injury on my part

threatened ? I would send you a P M but your over the limit on private messages!! I guess your caustic personality has others wondering what kind of an AA-HOLE you must be. Yes there are no gussets , brackets for travel limiters . Car drivers like its on rails. We Made the mopar day, the track was like Ice from all the street cars. Not much prep for the pro class. I did see your truck there, but not you. hope all is well.
