These are 10 yrs old and the finish on this particular one deteriorated that it began to rust extensively to the point of cracking and failure. To my disappointment I found out that the lifetime warranty doesn't cover replacement if it is due to the finish failing resulting in rust.
Sticky, you've been on here a long time, and I respect you and what you have to say. That being said... I don't mean to insult or bash, but I would have contacted TL long before failure and let them know you had a problem with the powder coating.
Likewise, there has to be a point at which inspection and maintenance should have come into play. If I find rust on my frame, axles, or anything I've installed, I wire brush and rattle can it.
Also - Powder coat doesn't like rocks. Do you have Front/rear mudflaps?
Again, not trying to bash you, but I just don't necessarily feel it's fair to bash such a well respected company as Torklift over something that could have been prevented long ago with either maintenance or contacting them before total failure.
Get the Aluminum Talons, sounds like the best option for your circumstance.
