You should have bought a 100K truck.
It is the suspension, a moving part for Christ's sakes. Perhaps you would like it so rigid you would never make contact.
You have a more legitimate gripe about other parts of the suspension such as the front axle that will rust or is not painted at all.
Tired about guys crying about buying an $80,000 truck it's ridiculous. So Upped like.

The next truck probably will be 6 figures. Why? Because I can!

It’s called surface rust people.
Stop getting stressed over YouTube videos and the price of the vehicle has nothing to do with it.
It’s amazing how many people are spending so much time under their vehicle as opposed to driving it.
Yes, it’s an eyesore but it’s not going to affect the vehicle.

My truck was built on 6/2. I already have a penny sized rust spot on my driver side leaf spring right where the the rubber grommet attached to the frame would make contact with the overload spring when weighted down.
Is this a common problem? Seems way to early to see rust.

OP makes a point about quality.. if we all buy them and just accept what we get, where’s the accountability? Yet, the truck still does what it was built for even with surface rust on a leaf spring. It’s a frame built to work and take some abuse. I don’t think platinum trim paint is any more durable than XL paint
