It depends on the use case, though. If that driver’s main concern is getting in and out of muddy work sites safely, maybe carrying cargo is less important than 4WD cred.
That would be a pretty poor off-roader too. Lifting a truck can be helpful for ground clearance, but that much is just vanity. Instead of hitting the bumper or the frame, you’d just hit the diff, etc. and you’ve moved the centre of gravity up so much, tipping over is a concern. And once again, those rims aren’t functional and will get mud everywhere and make things worse.

I agree a truck might be useful to a contractor, but not that truck. It’s lifted to an unusable height, and those rims are all flash, no function.
