I want to do this to my 06 4WD so badly. Paid $5k for her in 2020 and she's going strong!

Recently became interested in these as a camping rig and can’t wait to find one. Seems like the prices vary pretty wildly in my area. Thanks for these awesome videos I have a ton of ideas!

Congrats on the growing family!

Always solid videos, and love the bottle jack use on the UCA! Can’t believe I hadn’t thought of that over the floor jack 😂🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

Looks great and very professional. Stellar.

I just did this to my 2001 Toyota Sequoia I ordered them from eBay 3 inch spacers . Follow every single direction this man gave me. Help me out a lot. and I also have my pregnant wife helping me 8 months pregnant lol Thank you very much 💯

Noticed the 4wd at the end of the video. $5k in Cali with that mileage is a steal. I can’t thank you enough for your videos man. You keep it to straight to the point. My wife is 4 month pregnant and WONT let me take off the side step from her sequoia. 😅

Did this lift on my 05 tundra, great video! Couldn't figure out how to make the lower control arm to move lower until I watched! Great information! Thanks man!!

Congrats 👏 on your new Comer too the family 👪 and yes ther good women out there. Like 👍 your truck

Congrats! Nice walkthrough

put this same kit on 4 months ago and deleted my original comment. here’s what’s gone right and wrong so far. for one, this video is absolute gold for anyone whether you’re doing a spacer lift or longer springs/coilovers. I installed 2.5” spacers front and rear with 275/70/18 wheels and 1.25” spacers. It is excellent on the road and decently capable off road. that being said, be prepared to change your cv boots/tie rod boots *potentially. since the lift all of my boots are leaking, no big deal I expected it and had already ordered long travel axles. overall i would absolutely do this lift again, it looks great, rides good, and if you follow along with the video it can be done in your driveway. it took a couple weeks for the suspension to fully settle but i haven’t had any issues since then with UCAs or anything really. oh and yes getting a rust free Arizona vehicle was a huge headache saver, everything came off easily. hardest part of the whole job was actually lining up the pan hard bar afterwards but it only took about 10 mins

Love the first Gen Sequoia’s 🖤🤘

Really like the content I'm loocking to buy a 1st gen sequoia and you kinda make me dream about what I can do to it for my overlanding rig 😁

Good job putting this video together

Nicely done!

I got the same limited 03 brother 360k just did timing belt water pump got ours back in 2014 $5300 the guy who sold it to me was a blessing to me and my family Thank you Mr Jefford I still got her running

Thank you Sir 🫡 great video/tutorial.

The comment at the end about the pregnancy with the lift. Lol my wife’s 8 months right now and we just bought a first gen and I’m doing the same lift and 33’s on hers as a beach family truck.

Damn that Sequoia looks badass with that lift! I want to lift my wife’s 07 Limited and remove the sidesteps but she said no!😁

So sick 👏👏🔥🔥

Anyone considering a spacer lift, take into account the binding points of the cv axle, ball joint and tie rods when the suspension is fully unloaded. Also the front bumpstops should be spaced down so that the shock doesn't bottom out, your front bumpstops should stop the control arm

Great video

very good job one more option to light the car and looks sheep and effective thanks for sharing

wait a minute! is that treehouse member number 4 or 5??? gonna need that third row now buddy!!!! :) congrats brother!!!

Looks pretty darn good 👍. What's the MPG now ⛽? Highway?

I have also done the same with my FJ Cruiser and guess what it was worth it and it looks great more than the stock.

This is amazing, thank you! Would you happen to know how much it measures from the ground to bottom fender through the middle? I believe stock is around 32 inches. I was wondering how much height difference the wheel, tires, and lift did overall.

Did you keep the stock upper control arms? I thought you need a new upper control arms to accommodate the additional 3 inches. Congrats on the growing family, and great video by the way.

Hi treehouse! I was watching your 3” spacer lift for the sequoia. I had a question is on the rear spacer I’m have trouble finding the correct dia. as I have the limited with the larger diameter coil. We’re did you find yours? I’ve looked in Craigslist… no luck. Thank you

Hey I was wondering if you recommend doing the dif drop with the lift ?

Man great video I just did this to my 06 tundra. Thank you

NICE! Any issues with Front CV angles, UCA or LCAs? Rear arms or pan hard lengths etc after lift?

Do you think I’ll need jack stands for the rear. I was able to do the front. But don’t know if I need to drop the whole rear end or just one side. Do you think I’ll be fine with one jack and a bottle jack?

I have an 03 4wd with 3rd row and tow hitch. It has 240K miles. One of the rear shocks died so I'm replacing it with an OEM clone and figured I might as well add a 2, maybe 2.5 inch body lift kit, while I'm getting my hands dirty. I'd like to throw some 33's on the factory rims. I'm seeing a ton of conflicting info, as to what all needs to be done/replaced. Will factory shocks work? Do I need to replace the rear coil springs as well? Any help would be appreciated.

@Treehouse Overland do you need upper control arms to do this mod or does it keep the geometry pretty straight?

Like from Siberia Russia 👍

Hey, so I have an 06 Seqouia SR5 and want to lift it. Not sure which route to go, my goal is to put larger tires. Should I go with the spacers or suspension lift ?

I have a 99 Durango 4WD 5.9 3.92 Diffs. I'd love to go 33s x 12.5 to use mostly on the beach for surfcasting! I get HORRIBLE mileage. Supposed to use 93 octane as well! What does your 1st Gen get with the 33s? These are looking like a better choice when sleeping at the beach with more room! And look exceptionally better too! Thanks!

Nice

Do you lift the front and back 3”. Or should the back be 2.5 and the front be 3 for example. Not sure what to do some lifts are sold with the front taller. But I want it to be level

Hi, what size of wheels and tires fits after the lift? Does 285/75/17 would not rub?

Can you run 35in tires with this setup? I know there will be some trimming

Subscribed. Will this fit an 04 with the towing package/3rd row seats ?

Hello sir, in the video you had to wait for the correct rear spacers, i have the exact year and model you have. Would you happen to have the link to the specific spacers that worked on yours?

Just bought an 03 Limited 4x4 117,000k miles, one owner rust free with 45 service records. $10,500.00. Interior is absolute mint condition, road trip car for a couple with no kids.

Hey man how stiff was the rear with the oem shocks? I landed a pair of 2860’s but was wondering if I should wait till I get new shocks or just put them in. I don’t mine a bit of stiffness as I’m using to driving lowered stance cars.

good job friend 👍 I have one too, how can I buy the game to build it

Does the kit you put in the description fit rear wheel drive or just 4x4? Cause it says 4x4

I'm havin gthe worst luck finding new rear coils for my 03' Sequoia that don't cost an arm and a leg. Do you have any suggestions?

Question for you sir, did you buy UCAs for this lift? Or have issues doing an alignment?

I have a 2005 2wd Sequoia with rear air bags that leak. I'm going to do a 2.5 suspension lift but convert to just springs and shocks in all four corners. If I'm pulling out all the suspension, do you think I should add the spacers on top of a 2.5 lift? It doesn't look much harder to add the spacers to my 2wd which will never see off road. Also, what size tires are you running at the end of the video

Would this still work if I have the air suspension in the back?

Just did a spacer lift on my sequoia and I’m noticing a floating feeling in the steering. Maybe over and under steering. Any suggestions on what that might be. Alignment was just done

iM GETTING MINE THIS WEDNESDAY IF ALL GOES WELL.

Where did you get the rear spacers? I have a 07 Sequoia with the 3rd row and tow package.

did you need alignment after? and did you have issued with alignment?

Not sure if you’re still replying to the comments but if I do the coil spacer lift in the rear don’t I need to get shocks to accommodate as well?

Thanks for video install went good but my vsc light and trac light came out any ideas how to fix or what I did wrong TIA

Was a Wheel alignment needed after the lift?

How have the cv boots been holding up?

Im trying to fit 285 45 22 without doing anything crazy my sequoia is 02 2 wheel drive but getting hub centric for Toyota to Chevy 6 lug

Do I have to worry about torqueing all the bolts when I reassemble?

I have the 3/4 straight joe lift kit but hate how the front sits 😑 😒 I want to completely level it out but can't find 1-1.5in spacer

Do I need to upgrade the suspension with this exact lift kit? If not, will this lift make the factory suspension wear out faster? Thanks!

After my 3 inch install, my steering rack and pinion MOUNT under passenger side snaps right off. Frame on these 1st gene aren't that durable either. Welded back on but without re-doing that whole crossmember, steering will never be the same.....now debating on a straight front axel conversion.🤔

Does the kit u listed support a rwd sequoia ?

Do you need new sway bar links? Bumpers?

What model size tire are you running?

I’m at 5:38 point of the video and got my lower control arm bolts out front and rear however the arm is still under tension and won’t drop down… what else need to be loosen?

What’s the size of the rear spacer?

Do you have links for the lift kit?

What brand are your front shocks?

Another question I have is with the kit you listed it has a recommended differential drop kit. I noticed you didn't show that part of the install did you put one in and if so how does it go in? Again please and thank you 😊

What size tires? I have no sound

What gas mileage can you expect with that setup ?

I noticed you had to change the rear spacers to ones that fit could you send a link for the ones you got that fit please and thank you.

I like the ideas but man torque spec some shit big dog

CC thiefs love lifted Sequoias/Tundras 😢

Those are not good spots to put the jack stands brother. Cotdamn. I was sweating watching this video.

If you're young and broke, the LAST thing you should be spending your money on is a vehicle/mods. Can't say I haven't made the same mistakes in my youth, but now at 56, after 30 yrs in business, I look back at all the money I wasted trying to "look good", "go fast", "be the man". Luckily, my business allowed me the cushion to absorb all that waste, but I just think how much I could have saved and invested. Sure, enjoy your youth, you can live it to the fullest WITHOUT spending $$$, delay that short term gratification. If you're not increasing your income EXPONENTIALLY as the years go by, life is just going to be that much harder and you'll look at all the "stuff" you bought as worthless trash. Just trying to help brother.
