    im pretty ignorant about suspension, intending to learn quite a bit, after looking online more it looks like in the 2.5 sway away now only offers a 8 inch stroke not a 6, but i think in 2.0 they offer a 6 inch stroke, isnt the difference between 2.0 and 2.5 just the width of the shock?

    sway away 2.0.jpg
    just ordered these sway away for the 2015. they just emailed me they wont ship untill jan 6 because of the holidays, and then i found out the shop was 30 minutes away so i called to see if i can just come pick em up but i guess once its been ordered online it can be switched to will call? dont they understand the point of an impulsive purchase is because i want it now!?

    installed the sway away 2.0s on the 5 lug, they are a bit long, espesically when im loaded down with weight i dont have much shock left. my heavy duty leaf packs just got delivered so maybe that will help. if not shackle flip is next

    Looking good! Throw a zip tie on the axle shaft and it'll let you know how much travel is left
