Default Rocker arm question

I keep breaking stuff. This time it's a stock rocker arm. 2006 LS2, ECS 1500, cam is 235/251 115 LSA lift is .621 .624 Should I just replace the one rocker or do I need to upgrade all of them? If so which rockers would you recommend? The rocker broke 2 weeks after the big cam went in. I'd appreciate your opinion, thanks

I'd be checking pushrod length if you broke the stock rocker arm assuming you're talking about the rocker arm body. If the needle bearings, get a bushing kit and get the needle mess cleaned up.
