SAWs have a pretty good rep around the long travel ranger crowd, I would say you shouldn't have any issues. did you get rear shocks as well?

Naa no rear shocks. I have Rancho 9000XL 9-way adjustable rears. They’re like 2.75” dia bodies and are great. Not gonna change Unless I go to a king or fox 2.5” rear as I’m not sure if I want to go to a 2.0 rear from SAW...

Ok I looked up the recommended sway-a-way shocks. I included a link below. They have 650 lbs springs and only 4.34” of travel. If you are going dirt king UCA I would recommend that you have a 5.3” of travel on your shock. What height are you planning on setting the front ride height at?

It’s been fixed. I took it elsewhere and they resolved issues with the Fox coilovers.

I see a lot of you guys are in Jax. Just got my truck and live in the area as well. 

 

Haha; what a resurrection!

 

I'm now on a 6" BDS lift after throwing away a 6" Rough Country that was on truck for 11k miles.

 

Yep; I live out at beaches -- several of us from area though we've never met up. :)

Did you keep the Fox shocks? 

I'm about to get some Fox 2.0s put on and am curious about ride quality. 

I have a lot of confidence in my shop so i'm not worried about the leveling issues, just curious about ride quality on and off road.

BDS lift I have included fox shocks. I have the full length coil overs with reservoir up front and then the 2.0 in rear.

Ride is great!

is it the same fox 2.0s you had before? Or did you upgrade to 2.5s with the lift?

2.0s. I didn’t put 2.5 in rear.

Awesome. wanting a tad more room for some bigger tires, and some slightly better offroad performance. I heard these ride pretty well. Glad to hear you enjoy yours as well! 

Is ride on road as good or better than the ranchos/stock?

Better than Rancho for sure!

Great! Thanks! 

Did yours ever settle or did it pretty much stick at the 2" lift you had it finally adjusted to?

It stayed.

The 2.0 coils I used on 6” RC and we tweaked them back down to 1” or whatever it is from factory. It was from factory that I learned they had to be raised so truck would level.

When I moved to BDS I ended up with all new gear.
