just curious since i finally got to weigh my junk, what other peoples rigs weigh and what is your front to rear weight bias and how do you like it.
my rig weighs 3400 lbs trail ready with a 16 gallons of fuel, 6 pack of beer and tools. ( no spares)
the front weighs 2160
the rear weighs 1240
that works out to 64% front and 34 rear.
i am gonna do some moving of stuff and try and get to a even 60/40

I don't know what mine is, but how did you order your coilovers without knowing how much it weighed? I am building my brother a 94 Bronco on 39's with coilovers and your triangulated 4 link setup. That is the first thing I am going to do so I can order the coilovers. Did I miss something? :D

5700, with hardtop (seldom run on the trail, but I weighed it in the winter), no gas/rear seat/gear/people. Loaded for the trail, with the soft top and some gear, 2 guys, I figure 6000 easy. Fill up the back seat, and 6500 is no problem.
Do I like it? Sure. I can carry 4 passengers and junk easily. The bonus here is that is usually the girls that don't have their own rig. :D The bad part is I had to buy a 10K trailer to haul this pig.

guess at the weight as a starting point for ordering your springs and deal with a spring vendor who is willing to exchange springs with you until you get it right.
