i'm guessing the missing link gives it a bunch of lateral movement it doesn't like? where do the springs snap, at the eye or the axle?
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Rear one bud !!! Missing links are mint think there the best thing ever, rear spring that broke half way along
This truck probably sees more use than any other suzuki in the U.K. That's still a suzuki setups base, so I think it's doing pretty well to be fair.
My trucks fine it's just the abuse during challenges and my rubbish driving caused the roll, spring broke in a gulley but has probably been on the way out for a long time.
In competition stuff gets broken, these springs have lasted me a long time last one I broke was on my red truck ! And they where second hand like these ones I've broken !!
Set of four new ones on order job done, new hub I have in my garage lucky the warn hub wasn't damaged which is sweet, and worked out why it didn't run right the air flow meter came unplugged lol

He's had a hard few challenges lately to be fair, we've put him through his paces, don't forget that the rear axle isn't happy either is it mike

Yeh hitting the tree and bending it a few months back on that backroad wouldn't have helped the springs lol
