Those are the old version of the 2.0. Personally, and opinions will vary, these are *really* still coilovers. Also, with the 2.0" coil there are more wraps on the coil, leaving much less room for compression.

It all depends on your wheeling style. Like going fast over whoops? Get these. Like a nice, soft ride thats comfortable and will flex when you want it. Do not get these.

Keep in mind that these are the version with the exposed, not recessed, schrader valve thats prone to damage.

I second gapguy's advice, I have them right now and I am going to swap to the tundra/oem front lift. The ride is too stiff and mine need to be rebuilt which is another reason to not get them, they will need to be rebuilt, eventually.

You may be suprised how expensive the OEM tundra lift is. I have the saws also and they perform well. I am just a bit unimpressed with the corrosion of the materials. I have a TJM so the stiff spring rate works well for me.
