How to make a truck lighter

Fill your tires up with helium?

 

Super singles save 400lbs per set of tandem axles.

 

Strip what you can from the interior. Pull sound deadening. Passenger seat. Carpet or rubber mat. Disk brakes all the way around. Smaller fuel tank maybe? Do they have to be 150?

Heck carbon fiber hood. I bet that would save a lot. Probably real cheap to build it one off. Lol. Call a Nascar team.

Compare weight of tires by brand. Some will be lighter. Same with rims.

You could also watch the movie “the Martian” some interesting ideas there near the end. Hahaha.

 

Building a kit, go with Detroit 60, short wheel base, frame rail is heavy, if you order a kit you can get light options.

 

This.. run smaller tanks and add super suck singles.. not for me tho.. smaller tanks maybe but I draw the line at super singles.. run 3 batteries instead of 4 like the mega’s do.. wouldn’t recommend that either.. but on a serious note a w9 is not the Truck to be looking at if concerned about weight

 

Whuddaya need brakes for? All they do is slow ya down!
