OK, I'm gonna beat Nash to it, as I am confused.....

Are you a pollock View attachment 33001

Or a Polak? View attachment 33002

I'm confused!!!!
I'm not touching that, except to point out that the Polish word for a Polish person actually is "Polak" (masculine) and "Polka" (feminine). (Betcha din't know that!) :p
And back in Deetroit in my elementary school days, living next to a polish family, I understood it to be quite derogatory, later an Archie Bunker term, about in the same league as today's "n-word'!

I should have said " Pole " that would be more appropriate. As I gather with the " N " word, it is OK for a Polak to call a Polak a Polak or for a Pole to call himself a Polak.... but it may not be welcome from an outsider. Just ask the surrounding nieghborhoods to Hamtramek they might know better. As for my self... I was just having a light hearted moment.
 
I think the important thing here is why did it crack. You said you put stiffer springs to stop the bottoming out, but that isn't what springs are for, soft springs hard shocks. Rebuild your shocks harder so you can ride harder.
