Friggin truck - I'm on down time now two days

I could be wrong, but hangers don't just break. Was truck overloaded at some point? Did it break away from the frame?



Tried doing a search for any GM recalls on this, didn't find anything, but this sounds strange to me.

I'm very careful about how much I put in the truck and I'm quite sure the most I've ever had in it was 600 lbs and my dad made sure I had the weight distributed correctly that time. The shackle broke clean across right below where the head of the springs sit. Called my dad and he freaked me out telling me to get it fixed right away because the springs could come through the bed of the truck (holy cowza!!) but there is no rust where its sitting so I wasn't sure about that but its getting fixed so I won't have to worry about him worrying about it lol.

KZBell, hubby drives a Ford and I'm about to take the cap off so I can use it if this keeps up!!
