Icon coil over spring snapped

I’ve had icon coil overs on the front end of my taco for about 5 years after 3 years ago the drivers side spring snapped. Then about 1 week ago the passenger side soring snapped. (Both springs snapped at the bottom lower end). To my knowledge coil springs aren’t something that just break or snap. I would figure that about a million thing would break before the coil. Are icons just weaker?

 

Curious if they are installed with a lot of preload?

Also curious what Icon said when you called them regarding the problem?

 

In 6 years of working my dealer I've seen this happen maybe 4 or 5 times on different makes and models, granted not icon, Ive just assumed that the metal wasn't treated correctly when it was made and had a weak point.

 

It's extremely rare for any coils to snap. Seems like a fluke in this case, or perhaps they were under too much preload and pressure.

 

does icon use eibach coils? ive had a bunch of those snap on me.

 

I've seen this happen on OEM fox shocks for ford raptors twice now... Both trucks had between 70-80k miles on them.

 

Let’s see the amount of pre load @maxwellsmith13
