JT's and other weight distribution
Hello all I am thinking about the weight of these old trucks. I drive mine so it has some of the nice things so I know it will be heavier than others. This includes a heavy rear cover and AC...
I was reading in the handling thread and Rob mentioned in September of 2012 JT had a total weight of 3850 with a rear weight of 1400 pounds. That puts the rear at 36%, probably normal for a truck. then in January of 2013 it had a weight balance of 57% front and 43% rear. The new weight was not mentioned but wanted to pick Rob's brain on this as that is a big weight shift and or loss. What has everybody else done? And where do you weigh. Mine seems heavy but like I said my cover is a couple hundred pounds but looks and functions great. I know my wheels and tires are heavy too. Mine is 4250 total with 1750 over the rear. That is with me plus a few things inside. That is right at 41% rear. My 5.3 is mounted on custom mounts to get it as far back and down as possible. It was basically built in place... Thanks all Dave
