Which is better on road and off road??? are donahoes worth the extra bucks????

If you are talking about the old 2.0" SAW's then IMO the Donahoes are waaaay worth it. But SAW just released a 2.5" coil-over that is much nicer than their old 2.0" so now there isn't a whole lot of difference. However the Donahoes do still have a few features that the SAW's don't such as a top-out damper and a nitro-steel shock shaft which will never rust. That might be something to think about in your neck of the woods. the SAW's come stock zinc plated for severe weather but the Donahoe's can be upgraded from the factory also.

Basically they are very similar and it comes down to your budget.

Do they make a 2.5 saw that will fit a 99 4Runner????

SEAN_at_TLT

yup, SAW just released one under the Racerunner name and they have had a rebadged one available through Camburg for a few months now.

I see nothing 4Runner specific on camburg or sway a way sites would I just go with the tacoma's???? has any one had any experience with the 2.5 the price looks to be the same as the donahoes.

SEAN_at_TLT

Yes, the Tacoma model bolts right in, same as the 4Runner. The price and overall quality is very similar.

I was just looking on the Camburg site and was wondering if anyone had any input on their kit w/ the upper and lower arms... And what they use for the rear set up?

That 4runner looks like it has some flex, but ouch on the piggy bank.

Search here using the term "fear runner" or Dave's runner" and see if you find any info about that white 4Runner...

Any feed back on the donahoes??????

i love em. coupled with the camburg/total chaos upper arms and you got yourself some decent flex.

I'm sure already have, but for the money you should give some thought to theTundra coil/Anders Engineering spacer setup (should I call that the bamachem setup?).

Why? 1) Cheap 2) Salt (which goes good with reason 1).

SEAN_at_TLT

Donaohes with the extreme weather coating should be impervious to salt. The shaft is nitro steel® and it won't rust and the body is plated with a super durable coating. They will hold up to weather as well as stock shocks and feel so much better.

You'll get all you need to know about Donahoes and SAWS. The guys give a great description of their product. For people who live where road salt is a factor, Donahoe currently has the edge. If I had the money, I'd go for the Donahoes, but I don't, so I'll stick with my spacers for now.

i've had the 2" SAWs on my tacoma for over a year now and i still could not be happier with them. no signs of wear at ALL (of course, I lubed the threaded shaft with anti-sieze grease before I put them on). but they ride just like the day I got em.
