Default do you think i can get into the 14's

i ran a 15.3 in full truck mode. if i take off the hard tonneau cover, tailgate, rear seat, bumper, and spare tire would it be possible to run into the 14's

how much do you think all this junk weighs?

i will also have a eaton posi installed. so i should be able to hook a little better in 2wd. but it might hurt because the truck seems to get out of the hole faster if it spins the tires.

who know just got to get the rearend put back together this week

You just might slip into the high 14's with that weight reduction, however removing the weight off the rear may require you to launch in 4 hi to get a hard launch.

Wait till it cools down, and you should make it. Good luck

It'll be close... pending track conditions and weather.

Those are really good times for a z71 ex cab already, good luck.
