It's not going to work once the thief disconnects the antennas. Just saying I wouldn't count on this.
Multiple air tags if you're really concerned. Fuel cut hidden GPS. You can go way down the rabbit hole on this.
All modern cars have some sort of connected features now days. Thieves know this. they will unhook the 4g/5g/Sat antennas as fast as possible rendering the apps useless.
This is the one I have. I works well for towing/hauling but made the ride significantly stiffer and bouncy in the rear when empty. Even only lowest Air setting (5psi)

I usually keep it, most of the time I trade-in when I get a new car. Mods add no value in that situation. So i will return the vehicle to stock. Then sell the mods on forums or social media.
I was using willtheyfit.com. Yeah as you say there are subtle differences in tires based on tread and the like.
I got the local Discount tire to match the Giga tire price on some Bridgestone A/Ts 144 + plus install and tax. Discount will also take the oem spare in as trade for a few bucks off.
I would go for a cheaper model. Unless you do hardcore Off-roading regularly SR5 4X4 will be fine. Get the cold weather package for heated seats and other upgrades.
44k ish before discounts. Should be able to get the price down to 40k
