Sway 2.0" coilovers
Is it a stupid decision to get a 2.0" Sway when I can afford the 2.5" Sway? Even if this is only used to level the front of my Tacoma and run my 265/75 16's w/o rubbing on turns? I have to future plans on lifting my truck pass stock height. I only want a leveling kit that isn't spacers. Plus a new set of coilsprings and struts wouldn't hurt that is why I want a coilover setup. The ability to adjust from 0-3" is a nice concept as well. I have my mind set on a coilover system but don't know if I should go with the 2.0" or 2.5" and why?

I'd go with the 2.5" because they are made and designed better. Plus, they offer better handling.
The adjustable coil overs are pricey, and possibly not worth it. They will need to be rebuilt over time, and the only reason they are so much is that they are rebuildable and adjustable.

In the racing scene you go for the 2.5 for the bigger shaft so it doesn't bend from big hits (jumps,impacts, etc.) and for more oil capacity for cooling in the shock, when the oil gets too hot, the shock looses it's firmness, that is also the use for remote resevoir shocks to get the oil away from the heat. I am not sure about their valving differences or set up.

I just want a front leveling kit that is adjustable and doesn't require me to compress my springs and/or the use of a spring compressor. I'd also like a worry free setup because this is a daily driver for me. Any suggestions?
