This is why you should always carry a ratchet strap.

Went out for a ride by myself the other day, I was riding slow because I was in town and right next to a walking path. The shaft on the right shock unscrewed from the bottom mount and gave way. I strapped up the right side, turned around and headed the 30 miles back to the truck. It was a tough ride because every time I let off the gas it would teeter totter on to that front corner. Made it back ok. If anyone has a front shock off of a predator, let me know, I am in need of one.
