Railroad track weight 100lbs a foot. I thought about making something out of that. or another idea had thought of was 100lb plates for wieght lifting. and securing it were the spare tire goes.

Sand bags from Lowes. Why are you adding weight?

Thank's on the Ideas, The reason to add the weight in certien area's on the trucks is to stop frame flex. After modifying the rear suspention and changing the angle of the shocks and springs the truck will try and flex enuff to lighten the back tire's even at mid track so adding the weight will speed us up (in theory) Math isn't always correct. All the item's I have changed and the New Horsepower I have to start somewhere. It should be fun!!

Morey I used to work there we also balast those crane's with lead but I do not think I know anyone in there still. I need to ride down there and check my old shop and see if they have cleaned it all up Thanks Mitch
