Screw 14bolt, just get rockwells. Go big or go home..

 

my jeep has the common hp44 9" swap im below 4000lbs but I dont have a full cage and limited armor. after the recent wheelin trips on rocks mud and snow. the extra weight down low with the added width is night and day from the hp30/8.25. but I dont ever plan on going of 37s or i would have gone narrowed 60 on a sterling or shaved 14bolt narrowed.

 

I was at 4320lbs loaded before the 44 swap up front and on my lightweight 35s. Only 60lbs per corner for wheels and tires


I need to get re weighed

 

Where do you guys get weighed?

So is my number too hopeful? 4300 Is crazy light. 37" kevlars weigh like 84lbs each. Plus I figure I got maybe 350lbs more than you in the axles if not more. Guess I'm gonna have to strip it to pieces to reduce the weight

 

I get weighed at a scale in a truckstop near me.

You could be around there. I wouldn't worry about weight to much till you start getting over 5k.

But with my weight I had doors, full tank, spare tire, tools, parts, 1/4" bumpers, sliders, cage and winch.


New weight will have more tube, heavier wheels, 37 mtr, heavy 3 link setup, and front 44.

 

Oh ok. Mine will have a small tool kit, a driveline, a sleeping bag, a cooler, no winch, no doors, and 1/8" bumpers lol. I'm hoping for 4500-5000lbs. Should be alright

Hey at least those ORI's are light weight! Can't wait to see how you like those. I'm leaning toward those instead of CO's

 

my weight was with doors, 3/4 tank, winch, spare, half cage, bumpers and flares, discovery st 35s on alluminum 15x7.5s interor is missing creacher comforts also I have a modified 78 ford radius arms they wiegh alot. almost want to say as much as my old hp30 did lol. weighed at atruck stop near my home and at a metal scrap yard. once i go full cage, 37s and steering upgrades I hope to stay under 4500lbs

this makes me feel a little better. I'll be running the same stuff as sally, except 14b rear (which he has now) and 37's.

so I figure with me in it, the 14b, and loaded for the trail I'll be around 4900
