    My 2008 Sequoia limited has the factory suspension, but it seems to sit level front to back already to me.

    I notice a lot of lift kits for them have more lift in the front than the back. If I want to keep it level without the front being higher, then I would need to mix one kit for the front and one for the back, I guess?

    Thanks guys.

    Possibly your springs have settled over the last 14 or so years? Depending on if you are installing new springs, you may not have that problem. If you were just to install spacers, you would still likely have that issue.

    Might consider a body lift (replaces existing body mount bushings with taller ones essentially), it achieves lift with about 2/3 less raising of center of gravity (so less body lean on turns and more stable comparably) and does not affect existing suspension geometries so no Extra wear.

    I generally would not go with a body lift. And my '22 came "level" as well--it is a Sequoia thing and not cool, IMHO.
    The moment you tow or put weight in it is does a F@#$king wheelie.

    1) A suspension/Bilstein shock lift where the shocks are adjustable and/or---
    2) You can add stiffer rear coils and insertable airbags.
    * Can get expensive, and more complex, and may stress older components--but you get a lift and some adjustment
    3) A small coil spacer in the rear. May lower your front a smidge--but YMMV. Cheapest solution. I think Tandem Off-Road makes a spacer that only adds 1-inch of lift?

    Good luck...
