Stepside has been said to be heavier cause of bracing

Wish I could borrow a scale of some sort and put that discussion to bed once and for all. I have a fleetside bed on my truck now, swapping to a stepside soon. I would like to weigh both.

I would have to do it off the truck. I will have changed too many things since I last weighed my truck.

Bring them one at a time on a trailer to the scales. Theres lots of places with cat cert scales and probably more around you than you know are even there.
