Halo Lifts Reviews

I hope caslim shows this to halolifts. I'm pretty sure Elka makes the units.

You’re right, Elka is the Mfg. I edited my post to call upon Elka to produce a Root Cause Analysis for us, but Kevin @ Halo (the retailer) may have to manage them, and I can help if it’s desired.

Hey Zimm, I plan to reach out to Kevin and even send him the CO if needed. In discussing with LTW Motorsports in Riverside, they commented that this is the 3rd Elka failure like this they have seen over the last 6 months. I haven't had time to assess the point of failure yet. I'm assuming a fastener came loose and the whole bottom cap came off.

Looks to be total failure of the bottom locking collar. Sheared it right off.

Icon setup is in and works great.

@caslim could you post more pics of the failure? I’m having a hard time envisioning what happened here.

 

[caslim]

Here are some more picures. Eve from Halolifts reached out. They are going to get in contact with Elka about it.

 

[Tremgineer]

@caslim so you think the bottom cap unthreaded itself?

 

[caslim]

No. It sheared off. The bolt is still in tact.

Buddy had a similar failure too. I can grab pictures, I was going to buy the Full 2.0 kit off him as he was going to a Raptor conversion and Fox live valves. But before he removed the front coilovers he blew one in similar fashion.

I don’t understand the failure mode here, and if it’s a design defect or a manufacturing defect. For example, If the threads of the red cap are backing themselves out, then this may be managed in-service with a re-torque and marking paint with periodic visual inspections.

Looks like the tube split in this picture.

 

[Tremgineer]

@FanaticalKilla thanks for the helpful pic. that tube is definitely split. i wonder if it split first, then the red cap fell out. or, if the red cap threaded itself almost all the way out, and then the tube split. still seeking root cause here. also curious if this issue is isolated to the 2.0 body or if the 2.5 body is at risk as well.

 

[FanaticalKilla]

This is another 2.0 kit.

 

[caslim]

This is another 2.0 kit.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I'm working with Halo to warranty the shocks.

Good morning everyone,

We have become aware of this significant product failure. As many of our customers know, our HaloLifts branded products are manufactured through a trusted white-label partnership with Elka Suspension. While these products carry our name and are backed by our commitment to quality, the recent issues have fallen far short of the standards we expect for our customers and our brand.

We understand the frustration, inconvenience, and concern these failures have caused, and we take every report extremely seriously. Product safety, reliability, and long-term durability are not optional to us — they are fundamental expectations that guide every decision we make.

Eve and I are actively working alongside Elka Suspension to identify the root cause of these failures, implement corrective actions, and develop a long-term solution that restores confidence in these products moving forward. This process includes increased quality control measures, deeper testing protocols, and ongoing evaluation of manufacturing standards.

We remain fully committed to supporting our customers throughout this process and will continue to provide updates as more information and solutions become available. We appreciate the patience, honesty, and continued trust of our community as we work to make this right.

We, as HaloLifts/Elka, have approved the warranty claim of this situation, even though the warranty period had expired.

Please reach out with any other questions

Thank you,
Kevin
