Does anyone have pics of the Sway Away Coilovers? Maybe on 33" all terrains? And if you have any experience with these what do you think? Like it, Love it, Trash? I'm looking to get some stuff this upcoming weekend and this is one of my things on the to do list.

What would you like to know?
When I started my truck in `05, there were not many lift options and SAW`s were the only coil over...
When I added the winch and bumper, I did buy 700 lb springs to regain my full lift because of the added weight.

I am having sway aways put on my truck this week.

According to the shop, they won't bind and won't need new UCA's to be alignment. Apparently some models come equipped with some sort of joint or something on the top that eliminates binding...I'm not sure exactly what it constitutes, but apparently it's designed to work with the stock UCA's.

They're the 2.0 model, not the 2.5. We'll see how it turns out. Will have them set around 3'' of lift. Doing a 1.5'' block and bilstein 5100's in the rear to make it level.

Thank you for your response! How long have you had it and any problems at all with it?

I have had them for 3 years, sin e the truck had 6000-8000 miles on it.
Without any issues.
You do know that the 2.0`s are for the pre `05 Tacomas??? or maybe the standard cab???

Well as long as you stay below 2.5" of lift then the stock UCA's are O.K. But if you're doing a 3" lift you should get UCA's.
The CO's have absolutely NOTHING to do with the fact that you may need UCA's. It is determined by the amount of lift you get.

I don't understand how you guys can spend the money on C/O's and then cheap out the lift with blocks????

If you are going to spend money up front, spend a few extra out back as well...you won't regret it!
