6400 seems kinda heavy for a rclb, my ccsb is 6750. honestly i don't think the weight between a crewcab, excab and regcab matters until you really get into the high hp numbers where weight reduction is super critical. not to mention i hate longbeds more then anything.
Depends on how serious you are about time/mph. Brian's truck is making about 20hp more then my truck was, according to hp calculators. He went 9mph faster and 0.7 faster then me with similar power. About every 150-200#'s will gain a tenth and a mph or a little more. The weight difference was running mid 11's or 10's
It should be every 100lbs equals a tenth of a second. 1000lbs should be a second. My ccsb weighed 7350 with 33s and a 6" lift. Maybe the scale at work is off. I'll try and find a cat scale near me and see what that says.
.1 per 100lbs is for cars, for our trucks like Kyle pointed out its sicnificantly more weight to gain the same.
:hug: thank you!
My truck last time at a scrap yard weighed right at 6500... So not all about the weight reduction... More or less having a RCLB and usually you can find them for a decent price compared to others!
With the spacers you have now can you see any difference between the front and the rear. If not them im going to order the 1 1/4" spacers since I have a larger offset. Also what shocks are you running in the rear im having trouble finding a set that will work and do you have any shims or any vibrations from the shackles and overload?
I would personally go with the 1 1/4 spacers! My shocks are still the stockers but because I have the caltracs they can never fully compress. I will be switching them when the time comes to the ranchos!
Here is mine front all the way down and 3" drop shackles in the rear
Looks just like mine
Did you completely remove the torsion bar bolts or just lower both all the way down?
Ok ill order those tomorrow. Oh and I cranked my keys down today and i cant get the CVs below level.. I have the passenger bolt out and the driver bolt maybe a quarter the way in and I have a slight upward angle on my CVs... I looked and from what I can see my keys are black is there a diffrent key i should use?

They are still in there just as low as they go and stay in there cv's have a tad bit negative angle.
And Mine are purple keys for sure. I bought them at the dealership, It had green keys in it from the factory.
I know this is an old post but im curios what set up you are running for that 3500 srw. Ive got a 3500 srw eclb i want to lower
