Clarification on reduced load capacity due to suspension modifications?

    I just bought a used 2015 Toyota Tundra. It is a certified preowned with 25,000 miles.
    I just noticed a sticker on the drivers door frame that says that the load capacity may be reduced due to modifications to the suspension.
    Does anyone know what this could mean?

    Also I just discovered that the lights for the gauges don't work unless the parking lights are on.
    I turn the knob that controls the brightness and all it works on is the information in the center of the dash.
    I plan on taking it back to the dealership to be fixed.
    Does anyone know of a quick fix?

    Welcome from NY.
    That sticker is put on by Toyota when they add stuff, ......bed liner, bed mat, running boards etc.

    I'd sat that's it.
    This truck has a topper on it.
    Thank you.

    Unlikely the topper was included as a port-installed option. Got a pic of the sticker? If it's crudely hand-written, it was added by an aftermarket installer. What suspension modifications were made to the truck?

    I do not have the original sticker. I wish I did.
    I have tried to find a copy online.
    .....
    The topper is an add on. I looked closely and the sticker says that the load capacity had been reduced by 80 pounds.
    Almost negligible.
    Thank you for the infornation.
