Actually I wasn't serious I just had this hilarious comic-book mental image of the two lanes just meeting each other and a massive pileup...

I agree with you on most things, except I think a lift is just about the least essential addition for expedition use. It raises your center of gravity, thus harming highway safety and cargo weight carrying profile, and you don't need it... it won't so much get you out of a bind, but rather in to one by making you feel cocky about your beefed up rig. Essential for serious offroaders, but for real "expedition" use it's not necessary. That being said I don't think a 2.5 is going to hurt, it just isn't at the front of my list for sure. If you get nothing else, get a camping kit and/or RTT.
