Truck hit the scale today :)

Last time at the track it weighed 3,650lbs with me in it, half tank gas, Full bottle and my heavy 125lb tailgate. It was 51% front (1,860ish) 49% rear (1,780ish)

Since then:
I lost 25-30lbs
Swapped out the 80E/10.5" verter for a PG trans and 8.5" verter
Back halfed the truck with 1 5/8 CM
Put a full cage in it, again 1 5/8 CM
CE Magnum 4-link
Coil overs


Empty bottle, full tank of gas, heavy tailgate and me in it 1,840 (55.7%) front and 1,460 (44.3%) rear for a total of 3,300lbs.

This is full glass, no door panels, no hood, inner fenderwells cut out, no heater, modified front cross member.


With out the gate, it would be 3,175lbs with me in it, but the weight bias will get worse.


The added weight to the gate is in the top, I put the gate down on the scales and the rear axle went up 20lbs from the leverage ratio (scale is only accurate to 20lbs). It will be interesting when I put it on corner scales.
