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.

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

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.

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

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
