What all have y'all taken off for lightening it up? These trucks are super heavy. So far I've did away with the factory jack/lug wrench, spare tire hoist,& spare tire. What else has anyone done away with? I take off my folding hard tonneau cover and tailgate as well at the track.
Thanks

well you have an RCSB, and you've taken most of the dead weight objects out of it. Other than taking a nice **** before races, you've done pretty much all you can. Tail gate perhaps? Lighter wheel and tire combo for the track... I agree these NNBS trucks to me feel a lot heavier than their NBS counterparts, my old truck felt so much more nimble with less power than my new one with more.

4,900lbs with you in it is pretty good (assuming your truck is 4x4). I believe when I tech'd in at LS Fest mine was about that w/o me in it with a 1/2 tank of gas (mine has TVS1900 as well, as opposed to the plastic stock intake).

Personally I find it more interesting to go to the track and run full weight anymore... plus I'm too lazy to take the spare and tailgate off LOL.
