High Flow Race Pistons
Sway-A-Way pistons have been developed over years of racing and R&D testing. Their designs feature big inlets and a high flow area resulting in a nice linear response. These pistons deliver the performance and comfort you need to conquer any obstacle from the famous Rubicon granite, to boulders of Johnson Valley to the sands of Baja.

Highly Durable Nitro Steel Piston Rod
Nitro steel delivers extreme durability in the face of roost and flying debris by utilizing a special chemical conversion process. The nitriding process is performed on the base material and leaves a hard, smooth, corrosion resistant outer surface. Because the rods are one material the outer coating can?t peel off. Nitro steel is standard on all 7/8? diameter shafts.

Baja Blood Shock Oil
Premium Fully synthetic shock oil delivers quality that impacts every aspect of a shock: friction, fade, durability. By reducing friction Sway-A-Way improves ride quality over small bumps and increases the life of the shock by reducing seal wear. With a high viscosity index, Baja Blood is less prone to fade than conventional oils. Baja blood oil will get you to the front of the pack and keep you there.

Scott Windsor –
Ryan and Accutune have helped dial in the details on my Sway-A-Ways. I’m running 14in stroke, 2.5in diameter coil-overs on all 4 corners of my Truggy. He knows these shocks inside and out and helped me go through the process of valving and testing to find the best tune for my set-up. Not only in the field was he extremely knowledgeable and helpful, but he assisted me later by giving advice on steps to reach complete satisfaction with my set-up in the future. He can do more than just valve!
For future builds and friends of mine, I’d recommend giving Accutune a call to get your shocks as close to perfect out-of-the-box as you’re going to get.

I have to say I never thought my 9,000lb truck could ever ride and handle so well. I’m running a 2001 Dodge Ram, Cummins diesel. Ryan set me up with a set of 2.5? remote reservoirs on all four corners. I’m running the shocks only without the coilover springs with custom lift springs in the stock configuration.
I talked to a couple of the “other guys” (Dodge “specialists”) first and I wasn’t convinced they were listening to what I wanted from my truck.
Ryan gathered my data, listened to my needs and BAM! Spot on out of the box! I’m getting good dampening on big ruts and dips and am driving washboard roads at 60+ mph with no drama that I was stuck driving at 50mph or less before. Awesome highway and mountain twisties ride too, with no sway bars.
I have more projects in the wings. I’ll be back.
