Nice. I have the exact same truck.
Those the 265/70r18 Nittos?
Which collars? I believe the front/back kit for the '24 LC is 6-8 weeks out.

Placed my order with Westcott on July 8th and they were delivered on July 31st so I think they’re being very conservative on delivery estimates.

These are the 35X12.5R-17 TOYO OPEN COUNTRY - minor rub on the front, removed some plastics/ crash stop. The 2.75" should help until a real suspension lift comes out. I've been talking with KING shocks and they have something in the works for the LC250

Spoke to them on the phone. It’ll give you about an inch and a half of extra height. Essentially a coilover leveling kit.

Post Westcott - Still minor rub on tight turns into parking spots. Will need the +35 offset Method's to get the right sweep angle

Are those the Open Country RT tires? If so how is the road noise increase compared to stock?

 

[GrahamM32]

These are the open country AT 3’s. Honestly not that much noise increase compared to stock.

Looks amazing! I have ordered my westcott collar a week ago and just waiting...I am going to (TRY) to fit 285/70R18 Toyo Open Country AT III on stock wheels, haven't seen anything above 275/70R18 however. But I like the tires, seem way more smooth of a ride on highways than Falken Wildpeaks and lighter, nice set up!

Swapped to the +35 offset methods. No rub

King Suspension package inbound.
Baja Designs light bar ordered.

Looking to swap out stock step for a solid set of rock sliders with no kickout.

+35 methods look really good imo

Westcott is apparently releasing some without a kickout soon. Jeff said as much in a recent YouTube build video on the LC. I believe the underground one they just built and put up on YouTube. It didn't have the no kickout sliders on it, but he mentioned they were coming, IIRC.
