Default rcsb 4x4 race weight

im shooting for 4300lb race weight. i think im about 4400ish right now but that is without tailgait and a couple little things that i will normaly have and on my stock wheels and tires. what have you guys got ur rcsb 4x4s down too?

also i have been thinking about taking my towing package off and just putting a ball on my bumper. i am wondering if it would be a chance off tearing my bumper up if i was pulling someone out?

4850 here with driver, 4L80E, turbo kit, 3/4 tank ready to race. Only weight reduction is spare, and tail gate but usually race with gate on. My hitch weighs ~40lbs.

wow that a pretty good weight considering everything youve added!! does 4300 with 1/8th tank sound doable? i think i can get there but i know how weigght reduction goes, nothing weighs as much once you get it off lol

There is a list on here somewhere that has weights of various pieces removed for weight reduction.

You are going to have to gut it pretty good to reach that with driver. Prob with the 1/8 tank is it will starve for fuel under a hard launch because the pickup is in the center of the tank. Once I get down to 1/2 tank my truck will starv on a 1.4 60' I have to race with 3/4 tank.

wooops wen i meant raceweight i was meaning without driver, i dont think i will be making any 60 foot times that fast with my pud little setup lol. i guess i will have to run 1/4 to 1/2 tank just to make sure tho haha. i think im goin to just shoot for 4400 without driver and see howw that goes, there really isnt much extra stuff on these trucks like i figured there was
