Whats the weight on your truck looking like? im sure it has to be somewhere down around 34-3500 at this point. My 02 rcsb withgutted one race seat and no carpet was 4040 with me in at RP.

I did some pretty drastic **** to get it to 4110, and now have gone nuts on it again in the front but can't see it being less than 3800 ready to rock.
I'm 250 lbs so those numbers sans me would be 3860lbs the way it was and a hopeful 3550 lbs.
If I could get it to 3400lb with me in it ready to go, I think I could get it to go 7's with my current powertrain. I just don't see how I can get it that light without doing an entire tube chassis and carbon body panels.
I don't know if it has something to do with it being a 2006 model or what, but my truck has always been stupid heavy compared to others it seems. It was over 4700lbs brand new and was only able to get it down to 4550 when I had it on the street. *Remember all those numbers are with me in it.

4010 was without me. It was 4200 with me and I weighted myself latter that day. 190. I'd say that scale is very accurate.
If I keep the truck I'm going to pull some weight off the front. Swap the BW out for a precision 7675, ditch intercooler for meth, move the battery to the rear frame. That should take about 75 to 100lbs off the front.

I use this as a daily and have 2 kids in car seats. My youngest faces rearward and we all can fit. When he changes to forward facing we won't fit and i won't get to drive it as much. I'm kicking around the idea of a TBSS
