Sway-Away coilovers - opinions?

I'm wondering what people's current opinions are on the 2" SAWs that Wheelers sells. Right now I run a set of cornfed spacers up front and while they've worked just fine, the truck doesn't handle as well. I'm guessing this is because of the preload + the weight of my winch and Warn Trans4mer up front.

I want to improve the on-pavement manners since I end up driving long distances to get to the dirt. Thoughts? Especially from folks that went from front spacers to SAWs?

well ive got the 2.0 saws up front on my 98 4runner, my 99 4 runner, had em on my 99 and my 03 tacomas and i love em. You could say im a big believer in them. They make the front feel like a truck should, soaks up bumps and corners a lot, a lot better than stock suspension. You can't even compare the 2. Go for them, you wont be disappointed. And i always bought them from wheelers as well, make sure to get the steering bushing and sway bar bushing kits as well, makes a world of diff on an older truck.

Thanks for the feedback. The truck only has 28k miles since 11/03, so the stock bushings are still in good shape. I'll go with the SAWs next payday. I already have 5125's for the rear on order to go with my AAL (Deaver packs will be next for the rear, though).
