A major issue with larger wheels that rarely gets discussed is the ultimate evil in vehicles and that's unsprung weight.
Unsprung weight is the enemy of vehicle performance. It affects shock/suspension performance, brake performance, steering, handling, etc.
I get that you love the look but you can't justify the additional unsprung weight in terms of performance.

122+ lbs for per corner on my truck....
Wondering if it makes a noticeable diiference in stopping distance or cornering?

I personally can't tell any difference in stopping or going. Don't get me wrong, there has to be.... but it must not be much. Pretty gas mileage will suffer, but I didn't buy a Raptor for gas mileage anyways, lol.
Still need to get TPMS relearned and an alignment tomorrow. Truck does ride rougher, I wonder which contributed to that more... tires or mid-perch?

20's are the man reason for the ride. mid perch makes a firmer ride but not harsh at all

Well it fills a little more top heavy but I've only put 20 miles on the truck with the new tires so don't know. As for braking the tires are the point of failure. I can get ABS to kick on before I lose my brakes at least for oh shit moments. Now i'm sure on a long run you would see the fade faster but for DD not much difference.

My 37s on 17s at 33PSI ride the best it ever has including 100% stock and I'm on the top perch. The extra tire is like a pillow. I was pleasantly surprised at the improvement in ride.
