I too lost a shock due to the nut on the bottom coming off. After that I double nutted all 4 and have not had that problem since.
Shortly after that I had problems with the top mounting brackets breaking away from the frame due to not enough surface area on the weld. It was still under warranty and dealer welded 1" square tubes about 6" long to the frame where the bracket mounts and I no longer have a problem with that.
The past July the lower shock mount broke just like the OP mentioned and factory shipped me one ($20) plus UPS. Bought a new shock at NAPA.
If we go back to FT'ing again I think I'll replace the other 3 shocks.
