By chance do you guys know the ballpark weight of a 05' 2500 quad cab 4x4 CTD auto? And maybe the F/R weight bias? I'm shopping for airbags (suspension kind) and realised I don't have the slightest idea what this pig weighs, other than a whole lot.

Project baby big rig is under way. Got a friend in the wheel business who is getting some 22.5" blanks from Alcoa so we can drill them to mount to the stock 8 lug, no dumb 10 lug conversion. Also going to do a custom cnc program so they will have a cool design, still in the works at this time.

Tires will be 385/65/22.5, still undecided on which tire, found a couple with a nice agressive tread pattern that shouldn't be terribly loud on the road and still last a bazillion miles.

Lift will be all air-ride, similar to the kelderman but much better imo. Going to use stronger components, triangulate the rear 4 link, also going to push the front axle forward a couple inches to clear the 42's. When all is said and done it should be one bad ****. It's going to be fairly low as well, at standard ride height the suspension lift should be in the 5-6" area, with capability to air up around 12"

Thanks in advance for any info on the corner weights.

 

Well mine is a dually but the front axle weight should be with in 100lb I would guess. From Cat Scale -steer axle 4600lb /drive axle 3380lb. This is with a full tank of fuel, me & my wife ( 275lb for both of us ). Might be a good start for ya.

 

Close enough, Thanks

**** glad I asked, thats 1000lbs more than I thought it would be.

 

Mine is a SRW 3500. Before I added the Ranch Hand front end......mine weighed as follows.

7760lbs. total. 4560 on the front axle and 3200 on the rear.

That is with me, a full tank of fuel, and 5th wheel hitch weighed in at Certified CAT Scales.

I need to get it re-weighed now, with the RH. Prob over 8000 now.
