Since the rear end is bolted solid to the frame in 2 locations.....front below the pinion mount and rear above the stub axles on the rear end........I believe the traction control caused the tires to stick better with greater traction which .....transferred into the chassis via the suspension........In turn caused more of a load on the chassis......which caused the chassis to flex .....which caused one of the ears on the top left chassis where the rear end mounts with a through bolt that is stronger then the rear end top left chassis bracket mount......
That was one of the reasons we made our Torsional plates that attach to the bottom of the chassis rails, to box in the frame rails and stiffen the chassis.
So My point is that replacing the bracket that broke needs better thought process then just replacing the bracket.....
Sorry for the long post.....just another opinion....plus your chassis has a bit of age on it.....
