Like I said in other posts... Mine is a fleetside extended cab 2wd... it weighs 4630lbs with out me in it. But Mine seems to be a little lighter than others like mine. So i dont know if this is a good reference.

mines fleet side also and surprisenly lighter than that with me in it!! i wanna go lighter . already looking at the front suspension. the goal has been raised. even though i hadnt hit my goal of 12:00 which 11s is just icing on the cake

a skeet what is it?for every 100 pounds off its 1 tenth off e.t??or??was wondering what other weight reduction i can do as well,i removed spare,jack etc,center seat,put rollpan.cant think of anything else,i dont think ill remove the sway bar-danger!!lol

yeah theres really not much unless you start spending the dollars for lighter parts which are now becoming my intentions!!! so said thats true about 1 tenth per 100 lbs.. we shall see cause i think i can shave off a few hundred pounds..

but having the weight over the rear is better then having it up front.

true, the bed being lighter is not the only weight intentions i have, already have priced out new front light weight suspension along with other stuff..

maybe i should go with lighter suspension, instead of the bed for now?

yeah i imagine buying lighter parts would add up fast

The Sportside bed has fiberglass exterior panels.
