@cruiserinsanity since getting his license last year has taken over driving one of our FJ60s. During this past year we swapped on a set of used OME heavy springs I pulled from my FJ60. Springs had > 200k miles on them but appeared good and delivered a nice ride. They have been well used in a variety of non-pavement situations. Two weeks ago he noticed a front spring was broken; he'd put about 100 miles on it like this. I swapped out both fronts today.
The broken eyelet came off with the shackle and it was pain separating the eyelet from the shackle . You can also see the broken edge and that this has been fatiguing for some time.
