    Who knows what Ironman are doing. They're listing the same lift height for an 80 and a 100 series, and they don't lift the same amount when you put the same spring on those 2 different models. The specs I share are based on real world...

    I work with Ozark Overland and I see Crikey Mike on here My 200. I have 2” front 1” rear and it still has a factory 1” rake

    I'd suggest going and talking to LRA there in Boise. It's a common vehicle request, so maybe they could work with you to try out something. To date, nothing has been tested as viable for the Sequoia.

    I’ll say only if you are not one to monkey with them a lot the 200 series IMS are just about perfect. I’ve installed a couple sets and I’d say they are really nice on a loaded and a nearly stock 200. Honestly if I had know that I would have done...

    70,000 miles on my MRRs and they feel as good as new.

    I am up to 30k and two years on Dobinsons MRA. I still recommend it. The ride is really close to factory with the right settings, and it is much more compliant over rough roads than factory. Two years ago I drove through Valley of the Gods in...

    Yes, many people don't realize the 51 in BP-51 is the size, just like Bilstein 5100's.

    Also not mentioned very often is the fact that the BP-51 only has a 2” piston. No thanks for that kind of money💩

    Hold your hand up and visualize a 1/2". It won't make a difference
  • crikeymike
    You can use C59-238 that would be about 1/4-1/2" over stock height. That's the closest to OEM stock height that's offered. 1/2-1" lift over stock height would just level it out more and not cause any drama unless you load the back often. You...

    May is the current ETA for those.

    No problem, someone had to do it haha! It was a fair amount of work, we showed in the video but we cut the original hole an inch or so too far to the right, which is why he did the dremel cut on the left to extend. Also why we said the...

    Wow. Thanks for sharing. That's a lot of work but the result looks great.

    Hi guys, My friend Gabe wanted a Safari style snorkel on his 2nd gen (2011) Sequoia, but there were no options available. So we did what some have done with the earlier 2nd gen tundras and did a custom install with a 200 Series Safari snorkel...

    Sold my 200 series and picked up 2024 Tundra HV4x4 TRD off-road limited 6.5’ bed. It’s a joy to drive a twin-turbo with hybrid assist. So far I added the following in order: slee wireless charging. Installed good year in channel window wind...

    Had OME since 2009 and switched to Dobinsons last year maybe. It is a better ride not as harsh and feels better. I eliminated the cluncks on the OME leaf packs when you go around a corner. I am a Dobinsons fan and convert.

    It's noticably more comfortable on-road. My understanding is the OME springs have fewer, thicker leaves and the Dobinsons have more, thinner leaves. Also the Dobinsons shocks are heavier and provide more damping than OME. For what it's worth I...

    I have the Same MRA's and it looks like you didn't use the included hardware in the rear. My fronts are similarly mounted except I mounted them higher which by default pushes them further in. Here is the pic illustrating mounting it higher up...

    Only if a washer isn't used on the back and front of the bushing stack. If a washer is curved in too far, it's trashed, probably from a super worn out shock. Your 2nd last photo looks like it has thread damage (the shiny part), so something was...

    After much back and forth and erroneous purchases, I have settled on the @landtank 4" plates and OEM bushings and hardware from partsouq.com. going to do the 3rd member /diff gasket while I'm in there. Thanks for the help here @Outsane &...
  • crikeymike
    At that point it will much easier to just pull the housing out to install the plates and fully weld them 😜 it's much easier with the diff remover and the housing on the bench or some sawhorses. Don't forget the pan hard bushing Don't cheep out...
