YES - you will be fine.
I pull 2000 lbs. in a 900 lb trailer with another 2000 lbs. in the bed of my 3.4L V6 T100 with zero problems.
My T100 has a factory tow pkg. that does not have an "extra" transmission cooler. It works for me, I keep the OD off and change the fluids often.

Your V8 Tundra will have no problem towing your loaded bike trailer.
Keep the OD turned off and drive-on NOTE: You can run all day long pulling a trailer in OD on flat land ...

Remember when cars had only 2 and 3 speed automatic's? OD is for cruising, not working. Our trucks are designed to work with the OD turned off. Don't beat yourself up - you have a great truck. And now that you have done something (RAS) to address the soft rear springs, your truck is that much better
