AFE Sway-A-Way 2.0 Rear Suspension
 
Anyone use this rear setup on a 5th gen? Someone is selling locally, and I do need new rear suspension. Couldn't find any reviews or threads about this setup on the forums. Thanks for the input!

Why do you need a new "rear suspension"? Springs don't go bad (in the old days they would sag, but not on modern cars). The only reason to replace the springs would be to have a different spring rate or load carrying capacity.

If your shocks are bad, just replace those which would cost a lot less than replacing the springs.

SWAY AWAY has good stuff. Back in the day they had rust issues, not sure if AFE fixed that.

is your front leveled? this AFE kit lifts the rear 1-2 " you will end up with some serious rake.

Right now I have a 3" Front / 1" rear spacer lift and it has served me well but I can feel the rear shocks starting to go out. Figured this rear setup might be a good replacement, especially since someone is selling locally at a deeply discounted rate.
