Ok, so I am new to the sequoia world. Bought my 1st on this week, haven't owned a Toyota since my 84 pickup in the late 90's. My sequoia looks like it is sagging in the rear and the tires lean in on the top more than I would like to see, I measured the ride height from ground to fender in the center of the wheel, fronts are both at apporx. 36" and left rear is about 35 1/2 and right rear is just under 36". (could be my snow cover driveway) Anyway, my question is what size spacers should I get? 1 1/2 would probably restore the original ride height, but I was thinking 2" in case the springs settle more, but would I have to get longer shocks with a 2" spacer? Thanks for any input.

Go with new springs altogether. Dobinson makes a set that will work. If you are restoring to factory ride height, Oem shocks should be fine.

Thanks for the reply, but wouldn't the dobison springs make it 1 3/4 over stock? So I would be 3 3/4 inches higher in the back than the front? Or am I thinking wrong?

Rear spring spacers are discussed in some detail in this thread: Sequoia GEN2 rear spring spacer - DIY INSTALLED
Note the 2:3 spacer:lift ratio. (All else being equal, a 1 inch spacer gives 1.5 inches of lift.)
