Raise the Beast

PagalDesi4Life · #1 (**permalink**) 03-30-2004, 12:05 AM

I was in Daytona Beach, FL about 2 weeks ago for Spring Break and like every truck there was raised and/or had airbags, and pretty much all the suv's there had spinners too, it was great. After I got back, I was thinking if I should raise my sequoia too. What do you guys think? Any advice as to how high, what kinda tires, etc? Thanks.

(almost) anything that works for the front of a tundra will work for the front of a sequoia. dunno offhand how to raise the rear, you've coils, we've leaves.

some of the handling & suspension threads might help ya...if youre 4x4, about 2.5" is the most you'll be able to lift in front without losing grease or damaging upper ball joints.

I've had the Revtek kit on for over a year now and love it. 2 1/2" up in the front, 1" rear......no difference in handling from stock.

Does it effect the ride? Just checking as pagal has many ride concern issues from the other posts. Will lifting effect any other suspension components that might increase ride harshness?

If you want unique, coilovers (bilstein, king, donahoe, sway-ways) intergrated with a tuff country drop bracket kit. Total lift would be about 6-7 inches and have the capability of running 35" tires. I know of no seqouia out there like the one Ive listed, I would look mean!

Nice ride, RJ. What's the tire size and what kind of wheel is that?

Looks like MTII but with simulated beadlocks. I was thinking Eagle Alloys....

Cool...I knew I have seen that wheel somewhere. I did saw it from 4Wheel Parts magazine.

We should hook up sometime to check out each other rides.
