[QUOTE="HAYNES OFFROAD, post: 755486, member: 2684"] Yea no prob. Like I said take it with a grain of salt. It may not be perfectly accurate number wise. But unsprung weight is the absolute worst area you can add weight. Takes more torque to turn those wheels over, takes more braking power to stop them as well, More work the suspension has to do too when cycling through the stroke. Look at high end race cars, they use carbon fiber rims, carbon fiber brake discs, carbon fiber control arms, linkages, etc..... Each corner may weigh 5 pounds haha. You can add 500 pounds to your bed and barely notice it, but add 10 pounds per corner and you will notice it. [/QUOTE]
