Have to add back in some weight for a lower front fascia & splitter, thicker sway bars, and other misc stuff. I figure subtract maybe 50 lbs from the 2480 to 2430. ITCS weight is 2630.
The cage in the current tub has 61' of tubing. Using 1.5" x .095 tubing that weighs around 87 lbs. I'm thinking it'll be another 20-30' of tubing to have all the additional stuff I want done. 90' of tubing is 129 lbs. Looks like I should have enough head room to do whatever I want to the cage.
Thanks for all the info. I'll take some pics when I get it back.
