Nothing broke at all, I expected my passenger rear axle shock mount to break but didn't. The driver side was already broke from my shocks being a bit long, going to mount new mounts today a little further apart so I dont have to buy new shocks.

Funny thing is... I think the Samurai drove better after flying through the air and landing hard... I got  its spirits up or something...

The landings were soft, thats why I think nothing broke... we ran these jumps at least a dozen times. It all started when I wanted to crawl up this steep but short hill with a lip onthe top of it... did it a couple of times then was like... WOW the front wheels came 3 inches off the ground... how intense... well it didnt stop there. We kept going up it faster and faster getting a 4 off the ground. The last attempt was me flying towards it in 2nd gear getting the front end about 12 ft off the ground.... taking the video camera next time... The whole time we were saying, why would we ever do something like this....
