Not happy with toytec!!!

I’ve got 80xxx kms on my toy Tec boss and my coils are literally falling apart driving down the rd and just today the bottom of the same coil also went and broke! I am not impressed! But then again I guess you get what you payed for!

 

Let me guess...your running the stock bump stops.

 

You put them on new? So they have roughly 80K miles on them?

 

They look well maintained.

 

ouch.

 

I haven’t upgraded my suspension yet, but if I do are bump stops a must do as well or something?

 

I bet power washing your suspension and under carriage Once in awhile would have prevented this.

 

He said 80,000 kilometers. That's 49,709 miles (Freedom Units of measure)

Sorry, couldn't resist! I'll show myself out.

 

Good one, wasn’t paying attention I guess.

 

And maybe some acrylic paint to keep the rust under control. I do that on my rock slider when I scratch them up.

 

This is not related to dust, dirt, rust, etc. This was a structural failure or metal fatigue, cheap metal composition, typical Chinese metal products..

 

Who makes American coil overs with quality steel? Serious question for when I am shopping for lifts. Which may be in about 42K miles evidently!!

 

@Toytec Lifts

 

While rust can play a part, looking at the rest of your truck I would say this is not a rust issue. Your frame looks un-treated, but has very little rust on it. Sure there is a fair amount of mud and grime in there, but it shouldnt of broken the coils.

Im going to venture to say this is either a bad spring, or 40k miles of hard use.

 

Not the first broken Toytec suspension.

Always Look for this when shopping

 

Yes they where installed when the truck is new. So they have exactly 80 thousand kms on them! I take care of my truck it has been raining lots here in bc over this summer Hence there’s some road grime. I figured these springs would have lasted a lot longer then this! That’s just the driver side my passenger side is fine.

 

I think they are eibach springs but I may be wrong

 

I though Eibachs were typically silver. They are on my ADS and the 650 # set I just bought.

@Ryan at Eibach ?

Edit: I suppose it could be a custom color option.
