Default Knuckle arms keep bending

I got a 96 g-16 with an All Sports 7" dbl. A-arm lift, 23" all trail tires on 12" 2-5 offset aluminum rims. The s shaped arms that connect the spindles to the tie rod ends keep bending on both sides. After buying a few and the same thing keeps happening, I'm thinking about either doubling them up or fanning some new ones out of a thicker guage of steel, their about a 1/4" thick now. I worry that if I do this I might make something else the weakest link, and have to pay a higher price for that part. Might I have done something wrong when I installed the lift or is this part just not beefy enough for offroading?

Need pictures, they should have very little stress on them. Check your instructions again to see they were installed correctly.

I have a Jakes lift, and mine see very little stress.
