My stock lower arms came in at 23lbs each.

Ridetech quoted me a shipped weight for both lowers at close to 40lbs if I remember right.

My front mods are mostly weight driven.......a conical spring and the short shock length using the stock upper cup is far from being a drag set up...and thats what I do.

Blown, so at a minimum, 20# ea, but maybe even 18 or 19.
Likely 3-5# savings per corner. The best part, it's off of the nose where trucks need it most. The lightest coilover setup out back just further creates a need for stickier tires, but up front some positive effects can further be had.

Between the brake kit, control arms, coil overs and some minor cutting, I'm looking to drop a little over 100lbs off the front of the truck. It should make a noticeable difference in getting it to stick at full power.
