I sell a Jaos/Battelez lift for the Seq, but it's $$$. Let me know if you want more info.

well, I can see you want to start something with the War Department. I was going to use SAW's up front and get custom progressive coil springs for the rear from http://www.coilsprings.com/ for a 2" all around lift. I was able to get the SAW's on without the ole gal finding out but when my son-in-law let the cat outta the bag as to my next step all hell broke loose around here and that's as far as I got. (It's her ride - or so she thinks) The SAW's are currently at stock height. You can probably go 2.5" all around if you want. The rear coil springs should be progressive to maintain your stock-like ride. Getting rear shocks for that much lift will be a problem but where there's a will there's a way

Day star makes a 2.5" (spacers only). Do you think stock shocks wouls still work, or would I need to upgrade to a heavy duty shock with the 33X12.5X17s?

If you're going to go spacers, I think the front shocks will be all right. I don't know anything about the DayStar but if they are similar to the Cornfed's (http://www.cornfedsuspension.com/)they will work with stock shocks but you will get a "firmer" ride. It's the rears that will be giving you problems. With a 2.5" rear lift your stock shocks will work but when you hit a pothole or similar terrain you will get that “jarring” feel I think most people do change out their shocks when they install spacers up front but I don't think it's necessary unless you have over 30K on your vehicle. The only people I know that make replacement shocks for the Sequoia is Bilstein. Here's another site you might find helpful as for the install: http://www.tacomaterritory.com/~faqs...t/liftinst.htm
