Get on a scale yourself, see what you weigh, then pick up your truck and step back on the scale and subtract your weight from the total.

Or if you can't find the curb weight online, do what I did. After adding the lift, tires, winch, etc. I was curious, so I went to the landfill. They let me pull on the scale, no problem. Shocked to find out I've got the truck almost up to 7000 lbs...

Really. I wonder what mine weighs in at with all the stuff I have in and on mine. I know the trans4mer and winch are adding nearly 500 by themselves.

^^^Yup..even RCSB's are heavy as hell. I remember reading somewhere that RCSB 2wd hemi's are 4950lbs...so you should be a little over that.

It don't take much modd'n to get the weight up there, but don't forget I've got a suspension kit and for a damn IFS truck with no live axle to build off of, that means an entire sub-frame...
