These are going to replace my Fabtech coilovers. I'll do a write-up of the installation process. Can't wait to get them on!

Isn't that pretty laser etching just going to end up hidden under the fender?

They should have put something on top that would at least be seen when the hood is open.

Thanks for the compliments, everyone! For clarification, these are Sway-A-Way 2.0 coilovers. They are adjustable to provide 0-3"(ish) of lift. Looks like I won't have a day off to put these on until next Thursday .

I'm not sure. I'll try and get some measurements once I get them on.

What was the deciding factor in going with the SAW's rather than the other big name companies (KING, Donahoe, Fox, Camburg etc.)?

My decision to purchase the SAW's over the other brands was based on price and user reviews from here, ttora, and UY. They really have great reviews, as do the others, and coming in at $689 the next cheapest is almost $200 more at $875. I didn't reconsider the Fox/Fabtech's since I was running them before and wasn't really happy with their design or performance.

On another note, I was unable to wait until next Thurs. to get these things on, so I took the truck to a good friend of mine who works at Midas and he did the work. My initial impression is that these ride very nicely on the road and are very controllable.

I'll post more pictures and a review once I get home from work and crank these things up to the desired lift height.

Thanks again for everyone's compliments and questions.

-Matt
