ProComp ES9000's

Well I just broke my 7th lower shock bolt with the ES9000's. I don't know
what is going on with these shocks, but ever since I got them they have
been nothing but trouble. I went a year with no problems and then they
started breaking shock bolts or just coming completely out. I was wondering
if anyone had an idea of why they might keep backing out. They were torqued
down to spec every time a new bolt was installed. They are the correct
shock listed by ProComp for a 4x4 Dakota. Could there be something else up
front that may lead to these problems? Perhaps a lower control arm is bad
or they have been breaking and coming out so much that the threads are
messed up on the arms? It's going into the shop monday morning, just was
looking for any ideas before I went in. Thanks in advance.
