    Good call, I did tell them that they would have the market cornered if they did make the 2.5" springs. I just can't believe more people don't mod the 2nd gen sequoia. The thing is super comfortable on the road.

    Yup, and if they paired them with a off the shelf rear shock with one of the big four in a 2.0 or 2.5 shock body, I'm sure people would be all over it.

    Thank you!

    Just tried calling them and I think they are closed with the hurricane headed their way.

    2.5" coils front and rear are designed. They are getting me a shipping quote now. The springs will be progressive so they will be good for daily driving and also good towing a trailer.

    @theboy12 any ideas for longer shocks for the rear? Dobinson only has 18.3" long shocks, bilsteins are only 19" long. need something longer than 20" for the 2.5" lift

    Stats:

    Specifications:
    Travel: 8.0"
    Extended Length: 23.0"
    Collapsed Length: 15.0"
    Shaft Size: 7/8"
    Shock Eyelet Mounting: 1/2" ID Heim & 1 1/2" mounting width
    Either of the posts.

    Looks like RadFlow made a custom set for the silver sequoia. He worked with Sierra Expeditions. I bought a bumper from them they are pretty cool. I have no idea what the price point is though.

    So my thought is to customize the KINGs and see if they could shave 1.7 inches of the body and 1.3 inches off the shaft. Then use a limiting strap for downward travel? Or would that be necessary.

    That would be 21.3 extended and 13.7 collapsed 7.6 inches of travel or 2 inches over the bilsteins.

    Did you go with dobinsons? I have a quote request from coilspecialists I put in on Monday. I'd love to hear your out the door price for the rears. I just put my fox coilovers on and man they ride nice. A little high in the front and may need to bring them down looking at the CV angles though. -Jon

    Yeah, I placed my order. They are $250 from dobinsons. They also custom made springs for the front with a 2.5" lift. Going to give them a try with their front struts as well. Those king shocks you posted could work for the rears. Have you talked to anybody about the rear shocks yet?

    I spoke with DownSouthMotorsports they said the could build them to whatever specs I wanted. they just needed to know expanded and collapsed length and the mounting specs. I was going to contact ADS as well or Sierra Expeditions to find out about their cost and offerings. -Jon

    Who was your contact at dobinsons? I want to go this route. Coil Specialists quoted $500 for custom springs. I'd like to pay half that. -Jon

    Hey buddy my name is Jay. I have a 2015 Sequoia lifted about 2 3/4 in front and 2 inches in rear. I have Bilstein 5100s all around. The 5100s are only made for 1 inch lift so I think I need extensions. Where did you find yours? Any advice would be much appreciated. The only ones I find are on eBay and look very generic. Thanks.

    Thanks STEEV11. I LOOKED UP Revtek suspension and they have a couple of lift kits but I can't find anything with rear shock extensions. Did you have to contact them to have them made or do you know where you found them? Thanks. Jay
