No, you should be fine. Look for the spacers that fit the first gen Toyota Sequioa's. Personally I would be more inclined to do a 1.5" body lift and a 1.5" suspension lift/spacer lift. That way you are not putting as much stress on the front end. You will also want to add some manual locking hubs to reduce the wear and tear on the front CV's.
New torsion bars. :sombrero:
After hearing that, I think I'll just run with the 2" spacers. Last question, would a set of 35" fit with the 2"? I know what little flex we have at that point would be moot, but is it possible? I'm only asking for the sake of a possible pee-pee contest with the Jeepers I hang out with.

Not really here
That question will get mixed answers. Judging by the space I have in my wheel wells (turning lock to lock and full flex) that I have measured, they will fit with 2" coil spacers, and the correct torsion bar crank along with the proper rims and or wheel spacers and shocks. You'll definitely be safe if you stick with 34 " or less.
The reason why I went with 33 Is because I didn't want to pose a regear issue. It shouldn't be a problem, but considering I really don't think I need 35 inch tires yet, I see no reason to tempt it.
Oh, new torsion bars really won't lift the front of a truck. They act the same way cranking works. Installing control arms and differential drop down kits and such that are designed to give you a lift are the only way to lift the front other than the control arm crank.
Oh, I wouldn't get into any pee pee matches either. They get you in trouble(most of the time with your significant other but sometimes the law) Tis best to walk softly but carry a big stick. Let your abilities with your rig do the talking.

I think he's referring to coil spring spacers. There are several manufacturers who make coil spring spacers for the Toyota Sequoia which also fit the Gen II Montero's coil springs. I'm using a set made by Daystar that I bought from 4wheelparts.com
Additionally, IIRC, plh on 4x4wire was selling ball joint spacers for the gen II which you'd want to use when torquing your torsion bars in order to bring the tires back to vertical. Not sure he still has them. Cost at the time was ~$100 for a set w/ mounting hardware.

I went on eBay and searched toyota sequoia spring spacers. $60 for mine, machined from delrin.
I'd stick with 2". I did the 2" and a 2" BL from 4crawler, so my backside is lifted 4" now and 3.75" in the front. That with larger tires is PLENTY considering the capability if these trucks out of the box. You start to get used to it. Just go park buy another suv and you realize how tall it really is.
