Found this broken off Truck
When I took off the covers around the differential to clean them this was stuck between the main cabin and the frame. Looks cracked and twisted.

Any ideas?

Looks like it has a rubber bushing sandwiched in between there..maybe part of a sway bar or something..whatever it came from it took a hell of a lot of force to twist that metal..are you sure it's part of your rig and didn't bounce up off the road and get stuck in there?

Looks like you have installed new Billstein shocks.. this part looks like the top inch plus rubber bushing from one of your old rear shocks..

I think it looks like a shock top bushing and part of the shock. Must have been a heck of an impact to twist and break it like that.

Wow that looks like your flumelgator. Probably sheered off your Wangleshaft when you overextended the Fuffadroner. Easy fix though, just get a slabdrill and fargle that new flumelgator till if fits. At least, that's what I'd do.
Cheers.

Possible. The guys that did my shocks were ding dongs.

That is definitely a rear sway bar link.

This is it. Makes sense since they did replace them. The top nut on the photo i posted was completely melded to the bolt. Makes sense he just broke it off. In doing so, it must have snapped and flew somewhere and they never found it.

It was wedged in there pretty tight, scary to imaging them performing this operation on my baby.
