    Hello All, Just purchased a Rough Country 3 1/2" lift for by 2012 Tundra Dbl Cab 4x4 with hopes of putting on new tires 295/70r18 with a 4.6 for a motor. Come to find out they don't offer a performance chip for this motor. Have aftermarket wheels on truck now with stock 255/70r18 tires and has no problems pulling my tandem trailer with no more the 2000 lbs of kitchen cabinets (Own Kitchen Cabinet Dealership).

    My question is how much sluggish and poor performing will truck be with new lift and tires for a everyday vehicle? Added a few links and the specs of my wheels. Trust me appreciate any input?

    There isn’t much out there for the smaller engines, i have the 4.7l. I’m running 275/70/18 and i know it probably ain’t quite as peppy but that’s the smallest i would run on there.

    Its not a true "tuner" but it does change acceleration. Its also very easy to install. There are a few threads on here that discuss it in the "performance and tuning" section. Some for, some not so much comparing other options. Unfortunately you may not have many other options.
