You know what they did take a lot of weigh. 4oz per wheel
I was gonna ask like 150 for all 4 and 2 have 235/65/17 tires on.

Those are definitely spares from a newer truck. They are really quite light!

​​​​​pic from the other night at the track with new 28/10.5 Hoosiers. They hooked great. Unfortunately I have to send them back as one is out of round and won't balance out.

^^^^^
That’s some fancy suspension stuff you got there. Looks like a bolt on 4 link? Tell me more about it

It is a bloton 4 link. It is a partial ridetech airbar 4 link setup, originaly for air springs. I contacted ridetech and purchased only the parts and pieces I needed from one of their kits so I could run a coilover suspension. I have a different set of springs (red) still to put on, and a Tahoe rear sway bar im going to try to use, if I can find a way to make it fit and clear my true dual exhaust. Also have ridetech stuff up front.

I have not had it at the track yet. I was having bad wheel hop issues, that's why I decided to switch to a 4 link. Plus the ride quality with coilovers is night a day compared to lowered on leafs. I had caltracs on with the leaf springs before with relocated shocks the ride was pretty rough. Going with some bigger tires for traction on the street. Got my wheels painted, I think they turned out pretty good for a cheap set of steelies

That budget drag pack is looking great! I almost went with the same fronts but they were somewhat heavy so I ended up with those 7 spoke spares in my pic. Just curious what was your setup like whenever you were having the wheel hop issues. Granted my truck doesn't make alot of power but I've experienced 0 wheel hop in it. Mine either dead hooks or spins. Mostly 1.80 60s but have been 1.7 s as well.

Wheel hop may have been a combination of a few things, from street tires, to crappy DJM rear flip kit. I have zero issues now. Here is how the truck looks on the budget drag setup.
17in stock fronts on a 275/60/17 and 15in rears on a 295/65/15
