Default 700 lbs is a lot. I'm a lard butt.

Well I just looked in the official weight thread. Wish I hadn't.

Spooled's truck weighs 4300lbs. RCSB twin turbo...don't remember the year model.

My truck.....5060!!!! '

'13 RCSB STX with the roush blower and intercooler resevoir. That's really a surprise. I figured maybe 4600lbs tops.

That's a huge deficit to make up for in the horsepower to weight department. Should have bought a Mustang lol.

subwoofer....gone
amplifier.....gone
center seat/console....gone....(cup holders too lol)

that's probably close to 80lbs or so

too hard to remove the trailer hitch. it's integral to the rear bumper and step.

might have to trade for some race stars

nothing is removed beyond being able to be re-installed. all the wiring for the amp and subwoofer is still I place and the center seat is just 4 bolts to remove it.

this isn't my daily driver, it's merely a toy now and weekend warrior.

Ideally the sheet metal from a '15 or later truck would bolt right on....that would be sweet....

the spare and sway bar are already removed. The front lower control arms were swapped for djm units a long time ago. center jump seat is probably 30lbs.

the blower adds probably 80lbs and the intercooler resevoir with water is 40lbs at least.

I'm running '12 raptor take off wheels with the drag tires. I'm sure they're not any lighter than the original 18" wheels that were on the truck, but they're definitely lighter than the 20's I have for street use.

Yup 4540ish is what mine weighs with me in it. I was about 220 at the time. I haven't done any weight reduction. My racestars are pretty light though. Lighter than the stock 17's by a bit and much lighter than the 20's I usually run on there.
