Ummmmm .... what year,model, drivetrain vehicle are we talking about here?

I was very impressed with the design and quality of my Fabtech lift on my last truck, and would not hesitate to use their stuff again.

Again we don't know what vehicle you have but...I have the sway-a-ways and think that if I had it to do again I would go with Downey. I do not like the heim joints on the bottom mount to the A arm. The downeys have a rubber bushing just like the stock coil overs. Most of the aftermarket coil overs have the heim joints but I just think it is a bad idea for a daily driver. I did have a set of Donahoes on my Tacoma that were very nice. Very pricey but you could just tell that they were quality. I have no experience with Fabtech anything so don't have an opinion on them.

there are a ton of threads on SAWs. you really need to search and read.

second, an opinion that you're askign for is only as good as how closely the match between the person's goals for his truck are with your goals.

so define your goals. what do you want to do with your truck? your budget? and more to the point, what do you realistically expect to do with it?
we had a recent noobie who wanted suggestions on suspension options but he wanted to keep it stock height. oh, did i mention that one of the things he wanted to do with is stock height 4runner was to jump it?

the better you define your goals, budget, etc, the better answer you will get.
