Are Sway-Away Coilovers Adjustable???

I didn't want to start another post so I'm editing this one. I found the sway away coilovers I need. I was told that I can only achieve another inch at most by cranking them up. Is this true or will I be able to get at least 2" like procomp and fabtech?

Did you really need to start a new thread..LOL

Honestly all high end shocks are the same thing..just pick you color pref.
King=blue
Fox=Black
SAW=Red

All super easy to rebuild yourself, As for the rear, 2.25's will be fine, hell 2.0's would be fine too if its gonna be mostly street. They wont see any high temps. And save you a few $$$.

Thus thread was kind of pointless. Lol

I kind of started posting stuff before doin enough research. Only question I have is how long will it take fir them ti build them. I want to hve them for a car show at the end of June. Want ti make sure I dint order to late.

I was going to call sway away to see which ones I will need. Since I'll be cranking them up to achieve 8" of lift I want to have whatever is needed done to them to make my truck ride as smooth as possible on highways. Here in south Louisiana we have quite a few bad roads.

Just call SAW.. But your not gonna be able to crank any C/O up enough to lift it 8 inches w/o having a ****ty ride, and bad camber. You gonna have to let the Lft kit raise you up, not the C/O. Coil overs are good for 2-3in lift. But Just call them..They will know more than anyone else.


And yes, ORW and poly performance will be your best bet for SAW's

I know you can't crank them 8". I'm going to do like everyone else who's running procomps stage II and the FAbtech lift with coilovers. The coilover is made for a 6" lift, but with them cranked up they give you an additional 2". I think I worded my last post wrong. Sorry about that.
