What about the effect of reversers on braking performance?

Presumably any air dam effect would disrupt flow over the wings, tending to destroy residual lift and putting more weight on the wheels. And to the extent the reversers deflect engine efflux upward, this would create downward thrust, also increasing the effective weight on the wheels.
