    Posted about this in my build thread. Anyone else seen rust on their rear shock shafts in such a short time? Ive had these on the truck for almost 2 years. Purchased 1/12/14. Im going to try and contact them next week while im on vacation... not something I planned to do. Grr

    Truck gets more use than my old Taco did. Sat in the same spot in the driveway. They didnt get rusty... but we're Fox

    That'll happen. Needs some 'shin guards' to block the shafts from getting blasted by rocks/sand/mud kicked up from the front tires. I've seen guys that go out in the desert have shafts that look like that after only a few dirt trips

    That'd be fine if it was from me using the thing. Its a driveway princess.
    And no... chrome shafts shouldn't rust that fast even sitting. I have hydraulic machinery that sits outside for a lot longer without use and theres not a spec of rust on the shafts

    I think anti-biotics might help.
