Bill,
Check out my site for the Blind Moose install which shows what can break and
the bracket you should add:
http://tr6.danielsonfamily.org/BlindMoose.htm
What you'll find is that their kit puts a huge strain on the stock lever
bracket that it mounts to and you have to add a brace or the stock lever
bracket will crack over time.
Check out this picture and you'll see how it can crack:

Subject: [6pack] TR-6 rear suspension rattles
> Looking for some guidance here: couple of years ago I installed the Blind
> Moose gas shock mod and almost immediately began to notice a rattling
> sound coming from the driver's side rear suspension. Over time it has
> grown worse. On smooth pavement--no problems. On rough
> pavement--particularly brick or cobble stone roads it sounds as if the
> entire rear end of the car is ready to fall out.
> Over the weekend I removed everything except the diff in an effort to find
> the cause of the rattle or banging. The swing arm bushing are relatively
> new and tight. All nuts were tight on the shock assembly and the half
> shafts. Bolts from the flange to the diff were tight. Everything is
> tight which leads me to think I may have a fracture some where. I spent
> an hour yesterday looking for signs of a fracture but had no luck.
> Can anyone out there describe for me where to look. Does anyone have a
> photo showing where they encountered a fracture that sounded like a rattle
> on rough pavement? I just don't know what else to look for.
