Too much booty in the pants
I've heard people say for every 100lbs. in the quarter you dont have, you loose a tenth. That in mind, I've been trying to think of some ways to drop some weight off of my truck. I don't want to take out the spare, bed matt, or tailgate, mainly because with my stepside, traction is already a problem. So, I've been trying to think of some ways to loose weight off the front. Does anyone know of some light weight products available, or know of anything I could remove to lighten up this truck? So far I've come up with
-front sway bar
-center console/center seat
-tools
-stuff in glove box
-light weight battery, or move it to the tail
just looking for some ideas,

Electric fans should free up a lil weight plus less rotating mass on the engine.
Lightweight wheels will help 10fold! Like those 16-18lb Centerline Spiral Forged ones. That would shave like 15-20lbs off each wheel which works out to almost double the actual weight because it is rotating mass!!
