Bilstein 5100 Failure

Installed bilstein 5100s and OME leafs on my 02 couple months ago. On a work trip to Vegas the rear right broke. Looks as though the threads connecting the piston to the mounting point thing sheared off. Trying to figure out if the part was bad or if I got the wrong shock.

Shocks are

$504 B8 5100 Series Set of Front & Rear Shocks fits 1996 2004 Tacoma with 1-1.5" Lift | TrendsAuto Decal | 24-249928 33-247724 33-247717

B8 5100 (33247717) and (33247724)

Leafs are ARB EL122RA/B

 

The 93 is an awful road full of massive pot holes.


edit: both of those shocks are advertised for 0-1" of lift...

The leafs are advertised for 2.25" of lift.

I think these are the ones you need...

I had the same thing happen last year on my 2012 with both front and rear shocks, First, the front left bent for no reason on a highway road, and then the rear right broke a moderate trail last November, again under the bare amount of pressure. My local dealer denied the warranty both times because the way the shocks were bent implies it was bent due to abuse but that's total bullcrap. So, after dealing with all of this, I've decided I hate Bilsteins and switched to Kings. After switching to Kings some mods were required like new UCA's so I went with Total Chaos on that. The ride quality on and offroad is way better now.
