Just trying to lighten it up tastefully. Not like a full drag truck. Was just trying to drop maybe 4-5 tenths before doing anymore mods to see the difference. That's all. Don't want a gutted truck. I figured no receiver hitch,bumper gone and roll pan,no spare,hoist mechanism,etc and losing the heavyweight 20" wheels should help a bit. Only reason tow hooks off is because the lower billet valance fit better with them gone.Haven't took off sway bar yet. was gonna ask ya'll's opinion before I did it.BTW Nick(m3srt), you got something against fat boys????? LOL. I'm not fat. I'm just short for my weight!!!! LOL.

Later,Jeremy

how much do the 17" wheels weight? Anyone? Switch your middle seat out for a full console.

A gallon of gas weighs about 6 pounds give or take a few tenths.

another favorite is to couple the maf directly to throttle body and put panty hose over maf for added protection. may affect performance some but weight loss should make up the difference right?
