Re: Best front coilovers?
Do you have to run aftermarket uca's to get full lift out of the front coilovers? Which coilover can you get the most lift out of on a 4x4?

On a 2WD, it's a good upgrade. I also got the rear 1.5" blocks and the traction bars. Oh, and he's got the SAW's for the rear now as well.

So let me get this straight, Greg told you not to get the deavers because your 4x4 leaf springs are just as good as the deavers and it would be throwing money away? Interesting..... Maybe I'll just upgrade to a 2" block instead of a deaver.

Re: Best front coilovers?
On a 4wd, the Deaver/PRG mini-packs work very well, but offer a bit more height than most guys want. The 4wd spring is much better than the 2wd spring to start with. So to save money, time, etc, I will typically recommend just a shock upgrade for the rear of a 4wd (to match the front coilovers/uca combo) and maybe a small block. Now, a 2wd is a different story. I highly recommend the spring upgrade for these.

Aren't the saw shocks notorious for leaking?

About 5 years ago they were. Times have changed. I have sold well over 300 SAW in the last year and have only had 2 that leaked. Actually, these are the LEAST leaky shocks that I know of. I replace Bilsteins more than that. The leakiest race shocks on the market right now use dark blue end caps.

Re: Best front coilovers?
I bought some Radflo 2.5" internal reservoir coilovers from Greg and they are awesome. I take my truck on some pretty bouncy trails alllll the time and these shocks perform very well.

Good to know Greg. Thanks! I guess after I install my SAW's and Camburg UCA's, I'll have to determine if my rear end is high enough. I'm already running the 1" block but I like the rake look.

Or the end caps come unscrewed... (damn fabtech c/o's) Anyways, while we are on the subject what is the going rate on the SAWs right now? I dont see them on the PRG website?

Normal price for the coilovers is $899.... If you add the upper a-arms, you're looking at $1449 for the set. Give Greg a call if you're interested 951 780-5331.

He was running a Christmas special, but I don't know if that's still good.

I have quite a bit of plans... Sounds like Greg will be getting my tax return money.
