Default bent sportsman suspension!

Has anyone else had a problem with bending the rear swaybar/upper A-arm mount? My neighbor and I seem to have bent ours from jumping them too hard.
Anyone else haveing this problem?

I enjoy jumping my Sportsman too but they are not designed for that so somewhere down the road there will be a price to pay.

My neighbor and I have both bent ours at the point wher the top A-arm mounts to the rear most point. It is bending inward.
The only solution I came up with was to beef it up with some 3/16" flat baron the outside of the mount. As soon as I get a new one anyway.
For now I just shimed the old one.

I wish I would have. I tend to ride my sportsman a bit too hard. But, a sportsman fits my overall needs better. I just need to mellow out when it comes to the trails.
