Do you guys have the 2.5" springs in stock now or are they still on back order?

The rear 2.5" are in stock now (for the first time since August last year), and the front 2.5" are due in mid/late September.
If you buy the IMS setup, the fronts are adjustable height, so you could get the 1.75" coils which are in stock, and raise the coil seat height up to get to 2.5" of lift without having to wait.
Daaaaaamn! Here I was telling myself to not spend any more money on my truck for a few months…
The temptation is strong right now!
Would it be better to go with the 2.5" springs? I'm not in a rush.

That would be the best way
My 2.5 rear springs came last week. 6month wait…but man are they worth it. Got them installed Saturday and got them dusty in Sunday. Sweeet.
Anyone that is on the fence, get them while they are in stock. It seems like rear springs are the cheapest part of a lift. So you’re not out too much if they have to wait around a while until your fronts come in.
Does anyone know what size helper air bags will fit inside the Dobinsin 2.5 rear springs? I love the springs. They kicked butt in Moab last week. But I have a lot of squat when really loads with gear and when towing.

Nope. I bought the first one and it is literally half the size it need to be. They don’t work as anything but bump stops. The second one looks right but I really want to hear from someone that has installed them on a second gen sequoia before I waste more money.Either of these would work.

@MagmaFJ Did you ever get this sorted out?
I am looking at redoing the suspension on my 2014 with 200,000km on it.
@crikeymike I see there are more options for Sequoia springs. You have stock height, 1.75 and 2.5" springs. So with the twin tube and IMS/IFP options there are six possible full kits available. I am looking for a setup that handles well as a daily driver, tows well and can handle some bad roads. Not looking for a lot of lift. Does the IFP setup ride nicer than the twin tube?

Hey bud.
Yeah, plenty of options for those vehicles now. Since you don't need lift, you could just run the stock height front and rear coils. The IMS is a higher performing off road shock, so if you won't be taking it offroad much then it's probably not worth spending that extra money. The twin tube rides great on and offroad, but the IMS can handle bumps, corrugations and big hits better than those. But for stability, towing, and more abuse, the IMS would be the way to go. The fronts are also height adjustable, so you could add a little height to the front with the stock height coils if you wanted to level it out a little bit, although these Sequoia's tend to sit pretty level.
Thanks. Are the replacement stock height springs the same spring rate as stock?

I just checked and Dobinsons said they're the same spring rate as the 1.75" lift coils. So they'll be increased rate over stock. I don't have the OE rate info unfortunately.
Thanks Mike,
Slightly increased spring rate is OK. Variable rate coils would be ideal but you only have the 2.5" .
I just measured my Sequoia hub centre to fender height. 21.5" Front and 22" rear. This is with 205,000km so that seems kind of high for oem kit.
I will have to read up on what people are actually getting with the 2.5 , 1.75 coils. I imagine the stock length dobinson coils likely give a 1" lift in practice which is ideal.
Right now I am leaning towards the stock springs and twin tubes for the smoothest ride quality.
FYI, here is my suspension install on my 14'. I love the Dobinsons 1.75" springs/shocks. I went with Bilstein 6112's in front so I could adjust the height slightly. I too didn't want too much lift. I do not tow, but I have read these are great in that aspect as well.
Great feel on the highway and very planted.
Bilstein 6112’s and Dobinsons 1.75” springs/shocks
Finally got them installed! Bilstein 6112’s and 1.75” Dobinsons rear springs/shocks. Dealer wanted $700 just to install the rear springs so I started...

So what helper airbag is correct for the 2.5 inch rear lift? I think those previously mentioned on this thread are for non-lifted? So is the taller AirLift 60755 the way to go?
Hello Mikey,
Would you know what is happening with Dobinsons 1.75" lift rear coils ? How long is the wait?
Mine was order back in October.
Thanks.
I was just looking at those yesterday on exit off-road and saw that they were out of stock.
Yes, it's been like that for a long time.
If anyone is selling their lightly used 1.75" lift rear coils (C59-477), please let me know.
