Westcott preload lift (2 Viewers)

Whats the max tire size that can fit in the spare location?

275/70R18 will fit nicely. 285/70R18 will fit but hang pretty low. Any size south of 34.9" will fit but will hang low.

This I do not know. I'd assume that you'd have to at least remove the metal piece behind the front tire - this is a bracket down at the rear bottom of the wheel well that serves to direct the tire & wheel out of the wheel well and away from the foot well in a heavy collision.

thank you. so best bet is get something smaller

With 2025 OT having 1'' higher than 2024, would the Westcott PLC do the same amount of lift?

I had the Westcott kit on my '24. Just got a '25 and since it's 1" taller, I merely added the Peak 1.25" spacer in the front to essentially have the same lift my '24 did. Fit Falken 35x11.5R18s (34.9" dia. x 11.9") with very minor rubbing in the front that a quick adjustment to the liner cleared right up. That said, wheel offset and scrub radius is critical - my wheels are 40mm offset. My tires wouldn't have cleared on the stock rims.

So does this mean less positive offset would make less rubbing? I assumed the other way.

I added the Wescott leveling kit to my '24 GX550 with Falken AT4 34" tires. Having just finished a nearly 3K trip to Mohab and back, I'm pretty darn happy with the performance of the tires and the vehicle. Prior to the trip, I had minor rubbing in reverse down hill. After a sharp impact a low speed, I picked up more rubbing. Tandem Offroad was able to fix that rubbing for less than a hundo in less than an hour.
