Thank you guys!
Wow, seems like I have seen a lot of posts recently about shackle breaks. I don't see how this could be unique to Montana frames, since most every 5er I have ever seen is basically constructed with the shackle weld to the frame.

I have a 2019 3721RL that i am currently fixing to install the cross braces in all three spots of the springs hoping it will provide more stability for such strength issues.

Thanks for your picture details.
