Default So I got 35s

So I got some 35x12.5x20 toyo open country at II's (which look sick as ****) but when I drive they seem pretty weak. I have an fx4 with 3.73 gears and a 2.5 leveling kit but for some reason my truck just doesnt seem to have power anymore. Thats normal because the bigger tires(upgraded from 33s) or something else?

That's normal with bigger tires, especially toyos cause they weigh more than most other 35's, I have the same ones on my truck and love em

So your truck is sluggish even with the 3.73s, man that sucks. You can get that edge programmer, i have read that helps getting some power back after upgrading tires. Going bigger usually means loss of power and towing sucks. You might also look into changing gears.

4.56's just seem a lil steep to me... Atleast for 35's... I don't know I guess if I was lifted 6 inches I could justify the extra rpms over stock for all the wind resistance
