I went with adjustible Bilstein 5100 struts. Set them to the second ring from the bottom for a .65" front lift. My goal all along was to keep it looking fairly stock with a modest lift.
With the 5100's, my rake is now slightly under .75"...in other words, my rear now sits a little over half an inch or so higher higher than the front. This was exactly what I was looking for since my factory take was 1.5 inches.
In my experience with 1st gen Sequoia's, if you get them exactly level, they have an elusion of being nose high...so a very slight rake is best In my opinion.
As for wheel spacers...none needed. Kept her completely stock in that department. 275 70R17's are what I went with.
I had very minimal rubbing at full turn on my front mud guards...just a little dremel tool trimming on the plastic mud guard is all it took. I wanted to keep the mudguards on.
If you are looking for a modest lift and nothing too crazy...this is by far the way to go.
With the front level and the new BFG's, she now stands about 2.5 inches taller than she did stock.
As for the center caps, I go back and forth with them. I keep them stored in my garage....right now, I’m on a kick of keeping them off...adds just a touch of ruggedness I’m looking for.
Cheers!
