Just my two cents, perhaps you are befitting from some down-force which has yet to be measured.

I'd rather have down-force than any kind of lift in a pick-up truck.

Next ice storm, just see which vehicles are in the ditch on the side of the road.

In SE Michigan they will be pick-up trucks (suffering from tail lift) and a few surviving Geo Trackers which are short wheelbase and perhaps of the 2WD variety.
