New Lift with Sway-A-Way's

After 9 mos and 7500 miles, finally got the beast lifted. Or leveled, depending on how you view it. SAW 2 1/2" coilovers and rear shocks. Kept the OEM rear springs for now. Really happy with how it turned out with a local shop doing the work ( IMM- Intense Motorsports Maui). Matt and Mike went out of their way to make sure it was installed properly and very level. First FJC that they have done. First one on Maui that's been lifted.\

Anyhoo, here's some pics on a light trail/oceanfront rock outcropping.

fronts, notice the sway bar relocation brackets that come with the kit.


rears









obligatory ocean pics.





Sliders come next.

Be glad to...but a little later . Reason I didn't take any and post them here was that so many have posted those pics with their threads and I thought it would just be redundant. Sorry.
Hurry with yours, your gonna like it.


Thanks Bandi and TCao!!

yeah, i'm gonna wear my stock tires for awhile, so i want to see if it will look ok. i got a buddy living in maui now...he's an air traffic controller at Maui International. he keeps complaining how expensive living there is, yet he is always sending these postcard-like pictures of him and his wife at the beach.

Question Re: New Lift with Sway-A-Way's

Very cool, just put my SAW's on as well.







I am having some issues with alignment/sway bar position so if anyone has any input please put it over on this thread:Post Lift & Alignment - Sway Bar Rubbing Questions
