Are my SAWs on wrong?!
Been looking at some of the pics of installed lifts on the forums and see that some of you guys have the red looking top hats on your saws sitting on the coil buckets. I just have 3 bolts. I'm assuming they're under. Theyve been on for about 7k miles and havent had any problems. But Im still not happy. Just wanted to see if I have to take it back to the offroad shop tommorow and get this fixed
 Not happy if this is the case.

Re: Are my SAWs on wrong?!
Do you have a pic of the shocks with the hats OFF the truck?
If you have these:  Then, yeah, the hat was supposed to be turned around and mounted like this:

Re: Are my SAWs on wrong?!
The only SAW's that mount under the coilbucket are the ones made for the bracket-lifted Titans:
 Check out the link in my sig for more pics of the SAW installation.

Re: Are my SAWs on wrong?!
Yup... Check my pics. They're on wrong. Notice, also, you have a leveled front, but almost no threads showing on the bottom of the coilover like mine. You'll get more lift out of them than I will, but that's not how they are supposed to be mounted. Much weaker mounting the way you have them. All you have are three 3/8" bolts holding your front together. At least with the hat mounted on top, the coilbucket is sandwiched between the steel plates and it's a stronger mounting. I'd take the instructions to the shop and have them redo it. The instructions are VERY clear about that part of the install....

Re: Are my SAWs on wrong?!
Yes. Still wrong. I could make out that much from your first pic. Look at the one I posted. That's how they were designed to be mounted.

Re: Are my SAWs on wrong?!
Actually, that "empty" feeling you have in your wallet... THAT's what you get for taking it to the (supposedly) best shop in town....
