Ep 31. 2nd Gen Sequoia Platinum Airbag Lift With Bilstein 5100s and Airbag Spacer vs. Airbag Hack.

We have a 2013 Toyota Sequoia With Rear Platinum Airbags. Today we'll show how to install Bilstein 5100 rear shocks and show two different ways to lift the rear end of a platinum Toyota Sequoia with rear airbags. Option 1 is to "trick" the air ride to ride higher all the time. Option 2 will be to install a rear air bag spacer. We'll get lift heights of each option and test the ride quality of each option.
