    Ok , im trying to keep my wife's 2004 Sequoia running for a while longer.
    I swapped out the front coils and shocks yesterday with some TRQ pre-builts and it made a world of difference.
    I have some TRQ rear shocks , but dammit now i need some rear coils with 1" or less lift.
    My wife does not want her car lifted . I cannot find any springs with 0"-1" lift for the Sequoia .
    She routinely overloads this beast and i want to install some coils that can handle some weight without shooting the ass of the car into the sky.
    Any help would be great.

    Did you think about looking at airbags that make Standalone systems where you don't need an on-board compressor

    You're going to need a compressor somewhere to fill up the airbags from time to time, but there's no issue with running air bags without an onboard air compressor. You'll need to run schrader valves somewhere for each of the bags to fill them up. Many people drill holes in their bumper and put the schrader valve there, then run hoses to the bags. Don't plumb your airbags together.

    With onboard air, you can add more air to your airbags later on. Example, taking an empty trailer somewhere, then filling up the bags once you put a load on the trailer.

    Air bags work but as said above if you don't have an onboard compressor you have to run by the gas station or use a compressor at home to fill them once loaded.

    I believe Eibach makes a 1" lift spring as well.

    I would check Eibach, they generally have some choices for Toyotas.

    And Id bet your stock springs are tired/sagged, even a stock replacement might fit the bill and bring back some height.
