Dobinsons Suspension options for 2024+ Land Cruiser 250 Series / Lexus GX550

Does that basically mean you'd need new UCAs even if only doing a 2" lift?

Yes, but only if you add the droop spacer (supplied) on the underside of the strut mount, mostly because the stock UCA's don't have much clearance to the coils, and at full droop they can hit the coils. It would still be super close to touching even if they weren't extended travel due to the OD of the coils.

Edited, got clarification from Dobinsons on the IMS and GS struts - they do not require UCA's and a diff drop kit if the included droop spacer is not installed on the underside of the strut mount, but for 2.5" or 3.0" of lift, it is intended to be installed to prevent strut top-out, and then the UCA's and a diff drop kit should be installed.

The Dobinsons MRR front struts ARE extended travel and require a diff drop kit and UCA's at any lift height. I'll clean up the #1 post to represent this info.
