Hmm I don't know the exact weights of all those parts but I'd guess around 3550 with no one sitting in it.

The one time I had my car on the scale it weighed 3590 with me in it. I weigh in at 200 so it was around 3400 with out me. I had long tubes with dumped 3 inch duals with no spare or jack and about 1/8 tank of gas.

According to a CAT scale (has to be accurate) my car weighed in at 3420 with no backseat, no spare/jack, aluminum flywheel, and a hood that weighed ~38lbs, with the check fuel gauge light on.

Why don't you just go weight it at a truck scale? Everything else here is just speculation.

You can also get your 50/50 weight by weighing the front then the rear correct?
