Another quesion. how much unsprung weight

Was looking at spring ragte calculators. Asked unsprung weight. It is 60 panel but shoul be same as PU.

Seems axle abourt 350.

wheels and tires can get easy enough.

Seems spindles,brake assmebly , would think everything not supported by springs including lover a-arms,trailing arms and probably some stuff I missed.

Anyone every weight all the stuff that tires are carrying weight of and not pushing on springs?

Guessing 700 pounds would be cinservative and hell maybe way off base. Calculations only as good as input used.
