Well I can give you my input, I dropped 280 pounds off my truck.

Before weight reduction; it weighed in at 5760 pounds

This was at full weight with the hard tonneau cover and the 22" wheels.

Weighed her in at my work.

 

After weight reduction; she weighed in at 5480 pounds.

I removed;

Spare tire, spare tire hanger, hitch, back seat, step bars, 2" blocks in the rear and the front license plate. lol every little bit helps.. :cheers:

 

So with me weighing in at an even 200 lbs I went from a race weight of 5960 down to a race weight of 5680 lbs. Not to bad.. :driving:

Good luck with you quest to put your truck on a diet!!! :thumbs:

Still looking for more ways. Took off the tow hooks, but that is about all I have done for now. I may take off the hitch soon too. Also looked at the stock front sway bar, and it is hollow like the hotchkis one, so I don't think that there are any weight savings to be had there.
