Broken Icon coil over!! Not good!

Check this out.. I was doing a little off roading (light trail driving) and hit a hole going about 15mph and the front end came off the ground a little bit.. It didn't seem that I broke anything at the time but the next day I was on the interstate and noticed a pretty bad shake coming from the front end.. Well, I looked around and found this! (See photo) I was pretty pissed, These are $1200 coil overs that are made for trucks that do serious off roading and jumping.. I wasn't doing any hard core off roading by any means!
I have a call into Icon to see how the warranty process works, But it looks like i will have to go back to stock for a while since Im sure they will make me remove them from my truck to ship them out the California to be fixed..

Man that sucks, keep us posted. I would not have expected that to happen either.

That does suck. Hopefully they'll have some good customer service and get you fixed up right away.

Will they not send you a new one before you return that one so your truck won't be sitting around for 2 weeks or more with the front end taken apart?

Looks like the top mount plate is pretty flimsy to break like that if I am looking at the pictures correctly?

On my sway-a-ways the top mount piece is a massive machined brick of aluminum. I would of though for sure they used the same setup?

Sway a ways are more higher quality because they're built for extreme race applications where icons are more daily driver suited.

Damn, You'd think they would make the top of that mount thicker like on the sides. Sorry about you're luck man. Hopefully they'll send you a new one asap!
