I think most people here with a V6 have the Tundra Valving. I'm personally very satisfied with the Tundra Valving.

I have no true significant weight on the front and the Tundra valving is perfect for me.

Tundra here. Wheeled them hard a couple times so far, they ride very nice on and off road.
Swerks, weren't you going to go with PP springs or Rev-Tek? If you can shell out the little extra dough, go with the SAW / Downey or OME setup. Only a little more in reality and the ride is so very nice.

Even the Tundra valving is VERY mushy. Not sure how the Tacoma ones are. Don't need to know, I guess.

I'm having second thoughts on the saws, I dont know if mushy is what I want my suspension to be!

I've had the SAWs with Taco valving and later the Tundra valving. I noticed a definite difference. The Tundra valving seemed a bit too stiff when I was trying to cruise over a rocky road. But otherwise I love the Tundra valving with my extra weight of my mods.
I rode with Darren immediately after we installed his new SAW's with Tundra valving, but he had very little extra weight at the time. I was surprised it rode great. Honestly, it seemed like they may have changed the definition of what Tundra valving is, but probably it's just in my head. Darren now has the extra weight of mods.
I'd still recommend the Tundra valving.

Hey Jeff,
Do you know how ofen the SAW's need to be rebuilt? It probably depends on how often you take your rig offroad (guessing).
If so do they need to be sent back to the manufacturer (sp)?
