If you're going from a 35 gallon tank to a 48 gallon tank, that's 13 gallons difference.
Gas and diesel are about 7 or 7-1/2 lbs/gal.
13 x 7.5 = ~98 lbs
If you're running your truck so heavy that 98 lbs is making it overweight or not able to carry your things, you need a bigger truck, regardless of the extra fuel tank capacity.
