i am hoping it is around 3500.i used a bunch of 1.88 dom so that added some weight.i know my jeep was around 4500.

i will have it down your way in i hope a week or so.i would like to weigh it. i am kinda guessing on my spring rate also. so would be nice to know the corner weights. i will call you when i am down that way.

never weighed it after i cut it. i know before it was in the 4500 range.

i really think my buggy should be around 3500.i have 20's remember...:sonicjay:

I didn't read through the pages of nutswinging for his job well done, I just like the blurry pictures. On a quick pass it looked like a shift tower -my bad. However you want to wrap it I think we all like our lower etremities unmangled.

For safety's sake add a scatter shield at least.
Because of the possibility of blown cooler lines?
