Which lift kit 3" or 2.5" leveling on TRD

I'm new and have a few questions.
I'm considering putting a 2.5" leveling kit on my 2024 Limited 4x4 w/TRD package. This leveling kit also has a 1" rear spacer. The cost is around $1,300 otd.
I'm also wondering if this is extremely inferior to the full 3" lift kit offered by Toyota. Of course, Toyota wants $8k.
Last question: What part of the TRD package is repeated in the 3" lift kit? Can any of the TRD components be used to offset the cost of a 3" lift kit? e.g., springs, shocks, etc? Was the TRD package a waste of money in hindsight?
Thanks for any info or just point me to the engineer who can explain this to me.

 

If you just want the level get the wescott designs preload collar kit for the front only, and don't use the top spacer. It will give you around 2". You can use all your stock shocks, it's around $350.
