6" bds front springs on the Dana 60.
Rear consist of 4" bds springs, 4" ORD shackle flip, and a 1" block to move the axle back 1.5".
I don't do body lifts.
42"sx17's IROKs
Thanks - dp
damn heavy duty parts.All I can say is wow. It tipped the scales at 6500 lbs with less than half a tank of fuel. I would have put it at no more than 6000.
Here's a pic minus the tailgate and different bumpers too. I am having a truck gate painted - so nothing back there at the moment.
My 2500HD tow rig only weighed in at 6200 lbs.
but it looks badass,
12 bolt/10 bolt.shave some weight.31's you know

Wow!! I would guess mine has to be within a few hundred pounds of that. Ugh.

A few weeks ago, I took a load of stuff to the local dump. On the way out my 3/4 ton stock truck ( 10f, 14bff, 350 TH400) tipped the scale at 5,300.00 lbs.

I think all the tubing is pushing 500 lbs or so with the winch... But that was also minus the 150 lbs factory tailgate.
I'm 2860 on the front axle and over 3100 on the rear. And thats with 1/2ton axles

I believe mine was 4200lbs last time I was out the the dump ground and went on the scale with just me in it and some light junk in the box. I took the fiberglass topper off yesterday, so probably more like 4100 or 4000lbs now. Basically same specs as yours except for the engine and it's a heavy half, not a three quarter ton.
DPI,
6500lbs. seems very overloaded to me!

That what I think too. But it sounds as mine is in the ballpark as others on here. I can remember installing the Dana 60. I could basically throw the stock 10 bolt around the garage but when it was time to yank the 60 out of the donor vehicle, I had to use the cherry picker or car dollies to do anything with it. The the heavy wheels and tires add a bunch. Then you start adding all the upgrades, and I can now see why it seems a little on the porky side...
