I have a 2008 Platinum 4x4 . I have done a couple of off road trails and such but never anything serious. Your videos got me itching now to get a lift and wheels. I subscribed brother!!
Just picked up a 2020 Sport. Stumbled upon your website today even though I watched your vids. I didn’t realize you had a store. I’ll be buying the 5100 dobinsons combo from you
Great setup. Looking to do the same with an SPC and an upgrade to 37’s. It’s incredible how offset plays such a big influence. I have a 2012 Tundra currently with the 5100’s, on the middle setting factory springs with no bmc, running a 35 with 17x9 FN Six Shooter in a +25. No rub. Just had to move the fender well forward.
@@1stgenoffroad it totally is. How are you liking the ride with the new springs and 5100’s? I find things to be somewhat firm with the stock springs and 10 ply’s.
I love the trimmed mudflap idea. Paint saver. 👍 I've got a 2013 Limited and am looking at your Dobinsons IMS 2.5" kit with SPC UCAs. Think I'd need a diff drop? Looking to put 34s on stock 18" wheels maybe with 1" wheel spacers. Looking for as narrow as I can get for the tires, 11" maybe. Also, would a 34 fit in the spare spot?
Whats your thoughts on keeping sr5 wheels (+55 offset) increasing tire from 275/65/18 to 295/75/18, with 2.5 inch lift. looking to keep sr5 wheels at the moment need to find tire size without cutting
got 35's with the tandem spacers. Had a couple alignment shops tell me the rear is max out and could not get the toe and camber within spec. Have you seen this before? do you think my lower control arms are defective to where they're not pushing out the wheel like they should?
We didn't have a lean. Even on both sides. If you do end up with a lean, it would need a 1/4" spacer on the front driver's side. In the rear, you can either adjust the ride height of the airbags on the leaning side to ride slightly higher (if you have the platinum airbags) or add a small spring spacer (if you have rear springs).
Good question. And I should have addressed that in the video. Besides the lift, no trimming or anything else was necessary to fit these wheels and tires for the rear.
I’m having a hard time deciding what wheel to go with. I bought our sequoia for the wife and kids but she gave me the ok to lift it and bigger tires because she’s 6ft and I’m 6’5. I’m leaning towards method. Does anyone make a hidden winch mount for these things? She doesn’t want it to be a manly truck so no off-road bumpers but I still want a winch because ya never know.
I didn't regear. I felt like if I wanted to do a body mount chop, I would run 37s. If I ran 37s, I would regear. If I regeared, I would use the opportunity to add front and rear lockers. So until I'm ready to do all that, I'll stock with 35s and factory gears. The truck does great with factory gears and 35s. You will lose a little torque, but not enough to bother me. I still tow a trailer with no issues.
@@1stgenoffroad Ahhh got ya.... I'm clueless with wheels. Just watched you video on the suspension install and I'm going to get the same one. So with that exact Dobinson set up, what offset would you go with for 34" tires ? I think you mentioned +25 ?
I’d love to see more 2nd gen content!
Exhaust coming soon. Grille. Headlights.
Great vid and info, we went 33 with a lift for that ease and the spare tire space.

Sounds good, brother. Thanks!
Very nice set! Love the wheels, I don't think I've seen another 2ng gen with that set up.
Thanks! Been very happy with it so far.
Would you recommend 2.5 front and 1.75 rear for a level ride or equal lift front/rear? Great video!

Yeah, +25 is the sweet spot, IMO.

@@zachf6256 I have this black 2013 on 10 ply tires. My wife has a 2014, totally stock. I think mine rides better than hers.
@@1stgenoffroad that’s excellent to hear. Appreciate the response.
Did you do any regearing or trans tune because of the bigger tire not affecting the transmission ?
Nope. Does great with factory gears.
Thanks Man 👍

I didn't use a diff drop and the boots are doing great. I'm not sure about the spare tire.

I think that would work. It's a tall 35, so maybe a little trimming, but I don't think you'll get rubbing on your frame and no BMC.
I own a 2008 5.7 installed 2 inch lift, 35s on 20s 18+ offset with a minor trimming.
Yeah, +18 will poke less. Sounds about right.
How would this setup do with offroad bumpers and a winch?
I would consider something a little more stiff and with a bigger center piston rod like the Dobinsons IMS.

I don't know. Mine got is aligned.
Did you have lean on the driver side ? If so I guess add spacers on the driver front and driver rear ?
We didn't have a lean. Even on both sides. If you do end up with a lean, it would need a 1/4" spacer on the front driver's side. In the rear, you can either adjust the ride height of the airbags on the leaning side to ride slightly higher (if you have the platinum airbags) or add a small spring spacer (if you have rear springs).

when it comes to plastic, i'm a firm believer in self-clearance.
On the 1st gen sequoia can I run a rear dobinsons 1.75 lift without replacing shock?
You won't get a ton of rear axle travel, but it will do great on the highway.
Did you do a dif drop with your lift?
Did not install a diff drop. CV boots are good. No leaks.
How bad are the mpg’s now with the 35’s?
12-13 MPGs.
That's my next ride got the 1st gen sequoia
Still have the 1st gen. It's just like my kids. I love them both the same. LOL!
How about 35's on a 1st Gen Tundra
3" of lift. -12 or more offset. SPC upper control arms. Remove the mud flaps. Hammer in the pinch weld. Maybe more trimming.
To anyone who went to 35's on a 2gen Sequoia - Did you regear? What are your thoughts on regearing if you didn't?
I didn't regear. I felt like if I wanted to do a body mount chop, I would run 37s. If I ran 37s, I would regear. If I regeared, I would use the opportunity to add front and rear lockers.

It hurt my soul seeing you cut the fender liner
It's either that or take them off completely.
