    Looks like possibly an Elka/ Toytec Alumna shock with the label facing the wrong way.

    I was not familiar with these until you pointed that out @des2mtn that looks like it checks out.

    I can't tell without seeing the logo, but Sway-a-ways look very similar. Camburg also sold specially valves SAW's a decade ago. SAW makes solid shocks.

    Definitely Toytec Aluma Boss 2.0, I've got them on my truck as do quite a few others on here. They're not bad. I find them to be pretty stiff, but overall they're pretty solid. And yes, Elka rebrands.

    You can buy mine if you want. I'll give you a good deal. I've been thinking long and hard about moving to 6112s for (hopefully) a more comfortable ride. I just can't tell if it's my tires or the coilovers that are giving me stiff vibes.

    Reputable. I have them, @805Tundra has them, @metalpete has them, I'm sure some others do. They run around $1,200 nowadays. Elka makes quality stuff.

    Yep, looks like the alumas. They seem like they're a decent set up so far. @shifty` I don't think our E rated tires help with the stiffness lol.

    I’ve had mine for about a little over a year now and no issues. Been very happy with them
