How easy is it to push the shock in when it's off the truck? Should sink in fairly easy, if it's slow and lazy like a steering damper then that's probably your problem.
Either way the two broken mounts have one thing in common, the shock in question. And since it's only the driver side doing it, I'd venture to guess it's not suspension travel issues you're facing there.
It looks a bit bent cause the upper "shell" is almost touching the main body on one side, right? That's actually more common that one would expect, it's just the way the shell was welded on, unless it actually grinds on the body it doesn't affect the normal operation of the shock. It's the shaft that's below it that matters, and if that were indeed bend you'd know it right away when you tried compressing the shock by hand.
