    This is why I went with SL rated tires. They only added a couple lbs per corner instead 12 or so. But I dont carry really heavy loads , so I don't need E rated tires.
    And second on the larger diameter thing, Also checking your brake lines and cables after that lift.

    If you have not done so yet, I would highly reccommend getting the KDMax pro tune. It will definitely help alleviate that problem.

    I assume you mean a 1.5" wheel spacer? On all 4 wheels; not just the front?

    Adding extra weight, diameter, and rolling resistance, plus sitting 3 inches higher will definitely do that to you…

    What do you expect, those 285 tires are a lot heavier.....more rotating mass needs more hp. to move them, not to mention they create more resistance when on the road. Did you not study physics?

    Not everybody studies physics...………….. however, it would be common sense given the stuff you mentioned

    Yep....I took a cue from world-class swimmers and shaved my whole body. The difference in weight and the aerodynamic effect while driving has been nothing short of stupendous ;)

    Another normal recommended upgrade after adding weight (or even while still stock) is to look at a custom tune like KDMAX Pro (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/kdmax-pro-tune-by-paparee-and-twtaco.713699/) I little investment goes a long way to not only give you truck a "lighter feel" again but also bring some enjoyment to the drives. A great Christmas upgrade!
