Argh !!! I need to lose weight !!!

Christine needs to go on a diet !!!

Stopped at the truck scales last night ...

4780 lbs ... 60/40 weight distribution.

So should I add 600 lbs back to the back end?

Any suggestions?

Cliff

Truck Tracs ... Mickey Thompson ET Streets ... No spare or carrier
and a roll pan ... lost a lot of rear weight and it doesn't handle
on the road course as well as it did when it was more balanced.

Could Take my Dog for a drive to the track. Altought that would bust the end gate right off as soon as you mashed the gas.

I have a ex G/F after she had the kid that would be 300 lbs now.

Move the battery to the rear. Maybe add some ballast using the spare tire crank? just get a disc of lead with a hole in the middle. It will add the weight down low and possibly lower the CG even because of where it's mounted. Also look into the TSB for a rough ride/vibration, the fix is to add a 60lb tube on the frame in the rear to dampen vibes.

I leave my spare, hitch, and bed cover ON during Road course events. I want all the weight I can get on the *** end when I roll the go pedal down.
