Hey guys, Just curious how many poeple have that setup. Also if any of you know the weight of your truck Id appretiate it. Mine tipped the scales at 4500lb wet, with me in it

I am wondering how much of that is in the leaf pack etc.
Thanks.

My options sheet mentions HD front and rear springs (coils), is that what you are referring to when you say "heavydurt" suspension?

My truck weighs in at around 4000 lbs. without me and +/- a little depending on gas in the tank.

Are U driving it now Cory?

No no southpa, You know the suspension you could order for hauling heavy durt? And ya, I meant leaves. Seems like you guys are weighing in about the same. Im looking for 3800lbs when the truck is done(with BB). I think the leaves gotta go. I bet they are 60+lbs per side. I also have a heavy durt

np435 which is 50lbs heavier than the replacement as well as HD shocks, coils, and clutch and steel floor.
