Front Suspension Weights

Well after ordering the Santhuff springs (5" dia. 18" long and 250# rate ; 2,200-2,300# front end) for the front I decided to go ahead and pull the front suspension parts off and clean and weigh all parts while I'm installing springs. The truck sat for 6 years and thought it could use some cleaning/paint and greasing everything. Searched site for separate weights on pieces and didn't really find anything. Still pulling parts to weigh so if anyone has weights for ?? marks please let me know. Will not be pulling main crossmember so does anyone have a bare weight for this?

23# Spindle
9# Upper control arm - stock
25# Lower control arm - stock
29# Rotor - stock
12# Caliper w/pads,bolts
13# 1" drop Spring 3/4" dia. x 12 1/2 long
3# Shock
?? Manual gearbox w/pitman arm
?? Center link w/ inner/outer tie rods and idler arm
?? Main cross member bare

Have been looking at Jim Meyer , Scott's systems but really would like to see how much weight difference. I would rather put the $2, 500 - $3,000 in the motor.
