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!

nice!!

Man, I would put those on my truck just because of the dinosaur. Those are awesome looking!

nice!!! how much lift will those give you?

:barf: .....just plain sick.

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.

Are those meant for high speed desert running?

Oh very nice....Droooollll

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 :(.

What are you going to do for the rear?

I am running Land Cruiser coils and shocks in the back.

I'd say something but my jaw just took up residence on the floor.... nice, looks like fun

How much wheel travel will you get with that set up vs. stock? Looks sweet!

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

Same ones i have. Nice Choice. Are you gonna run LC shocks too? Is that what your saying? Or just the coils?

awesome
 

UPS visited me today as well!
I got the OME set:
Fronts:
OME 881
OME N91SC

Rear:
OME 906
OME N86C

But those are much prettier than mine!! hahha

Thanks. I have LC shocks in the back too.

Gotta love when the big brown truck shows up in your driveway. Good luck!

:saw:

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.

I picked up my kings from king for $700, i love the way they ride.

I drove over 400 miles just to pick up my Donahoes when i lived in california.

Bling bling! :)

Don't get those dirty, they are too pretty!!!

If you don't mind me asking, where did you find them at that pricw?

Wheelers. Make sure you do some research first.

Update! How are things coming along?

hey im curious im thinkin about switchin to LC Coils and shocks, whered you buy yours??

TIP: -keep in mind the coilovers take a little while to settle, mine took about a week to fully settle, then i went to pismo and they seemed to settle a little more, just cranked em up again this morning.
-Easiest way to get the spanner wrench in there to adjust them is to unbolt the upper control arm
-Crank the driver side coilover a tad more than the passenger side to compensate for driver and gas tank weight.

Yep, Whitey is right, www.wheelersoffroad.com

I got my LC coils and shocks from toyotapartsales.com

Here's a link:

Thanks a lot for the tips. I have been out there cranking until my arms are numb trying to get these things to the right height. Once they settle and I adjust them again, I'll definitely remember to unbolt the upper a-arm.

I have been unsuccessful at getting all of the pictures taken, just a couple that show them installed. It started raining as I was finishing up and I was ready to call it quits anyways. I'll try and get some more up tomorrow before I go in to work. Here are a couple of pics:

More to come!!

Wow, how much those set you back, they are absolutely beautiful.

Thanks! They were $689 shipped from Wheelers.

Those are SEXY and a Stellar deal!
How do they ride?

jealousy rears its ugly head again! ugh! :hillbill: They look great

Are my eyes playing tricks on me or is that a torn boot?! :shocked:

Right here?

haha ya exactly

No, that's an invisible coupler. It aids in CV travel and articulation, and also acts as an independent locker for those tricky off-road situations. Another bonus of the invisible coupler is the added one billion horsepower :).

Funny you mention that i was just thinking the same thing.

i gotta get me one of those!

So hows that cv shaft do with no grease on road and such? ive never seen that before, im curious.

How far did you crank your coilovers?
