I dont think so. Rob's dyno was around 668hp if I remember correctly!
Josh-Just the back seat, tail gate and spare. Im sure the twins and lift add all the weight back on though!

I just made my hitch last week to hide behind the roll pan. I have the plastic push rivets holding on my license plate, remove those and the reciever is right behind it. My pull hitch is alot closer to the rear of the truck now and sits higher on the frame. Mine is made out of 4"x4" square tubing with the reciever welding straight into the middle of it - weighs alot more than the factory hitch but with the rollpan still less than the factory hitch and bumper. And I bet when I pulled in at the Pro Diesel Challange debadged and lowered on 20s this weekend some people probably thought I was a spectator in a 2WD; when the slicks went on they probably thought it was street/strip truck; when the MTs, weight rack and hitch went on they probably just started scratching their heads.
I was talking to Russ, but your truck is really light if you weigh that with your back seat still in.
Your lift must add a bunch. My truck was right at 6650 with the back seat, spare, bumper, hitch, and tailgate removed.

I scratch my head everytime you derail a thread to cheerlead
The last sentence was the only thing not entirely related to the thread. What I was trying to say is that I like the fact that it is completely hidden behind the rollpan - 1st for the fact that my pull hitch is closer to the truck and higher up and 2nd because of looks and it surprising people when I throw a pull ring in it.
So russ you gonna run it all year or put the bumper on during bird season? If you want to discuss your sweet twin turbo license plate with me please pm me

i got a roll pan sitting in garage and havnt put it on cause i havnt felt like i could use my factory hitch, but maybe ill give it a shot till i build a different hitch
Ordered the materials for the pulling hitch today 4x4x1/4. It feels kinda funny not using stainless to fab something up.
I have one of each, I think the metal one is a little lighter, but not much neither one can weigh 10 lbs. the urethane one needed a bit of work to make it look ok, wasn't that well make. Metal one bolted right on no problem.

There is a fiberglass one that I have for Casper but forgot where I got it. It took an hour to install and fit very nice.
Russ can't believe your truck is that heavy. My 07 with all the goodies on it weighs a tad over 7200 including the spare, About 7400 with me in it. I've never bothered to take much off to race it, tool box, spare, second battery and tail gate, about 7100 with a 1/4 tank of fuel and me.
