    So, I am looking to lift my 23 TRD PRO. There are three options I'm looking at the:

    -Westcott Preload Collar lift kit (2022-'24 Toyota Tundra TRD PRO & 1794 Limited Fox Preload Collar Lift Kit - Westcott Designs)

    -2.5inch rough country lift (2.5 Inch Lift Kit | TRD Pro | Toyota Tundra 4WD (2022-2024) | Rough Country)

    -ICON Stage 6 (ICON 22-23 Toyota Tundra 2-3.5" Lift Stage 6 2.5 Suspension System Tubular ICON 22-23 Toyota Tundra 2-3.5" Lift Stage 6 2.5 Suspension System Tubular - Icon Vehicle Dynamics)

    I'm wanting to build this truck to be able to do basic overland activities/trails and basically my outdoors getaway vehicle for me and my family. I am planning on buying other accessories for my truck suck as bumpers and bed racks and such, so there will be added weight.

    So, I'm looking for what's going to give me the best performance and ground clearance while staying in the 4k price range for the lift (not including tires).

    From what I've read I believe the Westcott will give the most lift, but I'm not sure a spacer lift would be wise for the long term.

    If my math is correct, I believe this would be my lift heights over stock with the lifts above (using recommended tire sizes from the manufactures):

    Westcott- 5.5 inches (2.5 front and 35's)
    Rough country- 4.5 inches (2.5 front and 34's)
    ICON- 4.75 (1.75 front and 35's)

    I'm leaning towards either the Westcott or the ICON lift, but was wondering what y'all thought or suggest? Any pictures would be great also. Thanks!

    Keep in mind your "overland" rig is going to run out of payload very very quickly once you kit it out with bumpers, racks, skid plates, sliders, dog, kids, old lady, etc.

    Rough numbers we'll assume a semi kittted out overland rig
    Front bumper ~160 lbs
    Front Winch~ 120 lbs
    Rear Bumper~ 150 lbs
    Skid Plate~ 100 lbs
    Sliders ~ 150 lbs
    35" Tires ~ 140 lbs
    Roof top tent = 200lbs
    Bed Rack = 100 lbs
    Rotpak 2.5gallon w/gas= 20 lbs
    Electric Cooler= 40 lbs
    Battery for Cooler= 30 lbs
    5 gallons of water= 50 lbs
    Total before people and their gear, bikes, etc. = 1260 lbs

    1600 lbs of payload mins 1260lbs = 340 lbs of payload remaining for you the family and all the shit families need to bring with them.

    Say you pulled a small 3500 lb tear drop off road trailer, you're already over your pay load with a 10% tongue weight and you haven't even put people in the truck yet.

    Do people overload their overland rigs and use them? They sure do...just something to keep in mind before you jump down the rabbit hole of spending all that money adding accessories to your truck when you realize you should have bought a 3/4 ton rig in the first place for your specific use case.
