About 900 pounds including the tanks. Truck can haul a payload of 4000# so leaves 3100# for the box, people and a camper. Not planning to add that much!

Sweet - so it looks like I need to locate some Suburban cross members then modify the rear one - adapting the ends to fit the Pintle braces, and the front one to get the tank level. Diff clearance is gonna be tight thanks to the CUCV rear bumper/pintle bracing system... Then I'll have to locate...

Thanks CUCVNUT - but not so sure. Stacked them (dam heavy too) beside the originals. Would have to get a custom tank or a 16 gallon OEM due to the 62" springs now projecting 4" further forward. Or relocate the axel to the rear. Then comes the rear mount - the brace for the bumper/pintle has...
