I'm not talking about raping my truck to lighten it up, I still drive mine daily w all the items I metioned removed, drives great, rides great. I just wanted to document what was weighing what as iy was removed just for a refernece to those that may care.

I'm not trying to tell anyone to rape their truck to get the fastest time out of it.

But I took my spare and trailor hitch off and it rides better anyone cause thats a lot of weight on the back of the truck and I bottom out a lot less now.

Same here, my truck rode better too. I also pulled my sway bar since my coils are trimmed up front (made it stiff). And with the sway bar off it rides a lot better up front. And sice my springs are pretty stiff it still handles great.

i may custom a fiber hood soon that looks exactly like stock just much lighter, does the yukon have a hitch? or is it connected to the chassis i havent checked properly but i highly doubt its removable.. i ordered these rims recently i think they would look good and thier light as well

at the moment i have the heavy 20" stockers.. with 275/55/20 tyres maybe install 295/45/20 with these

run a 285/50/20.

What wheels are those?! I LOVE my BBS - I didn't get a weight on them, but their race inspired.

and are the lightest 20 I've had so far. (on my 6th set)

x10 on that comment, their website photo is the only reason I haven't bought one, I'm looking forward to your pics.
