Left right weight distribution / CG

[Scott z]

I’m probably way over thinking this but I’m going to be mounting a 250 pound crane with electric winch.

Easiest spot would be drivers side, front corner of the bed right above the batteries.

Is the truck already heavier on the left due to the batteries and driver?

If I mount it on the drivers will I create a black hole and destroy earth?

Aesthetically with the intake snorkel on that side maybe it would look better on the right.

Thoughts? Names of local psychologists?

It depends on if you are full of fuel or not...

Exactly what I was thinking.

Batteries on the left.
Spare tire and fuel tank on the right.

I’m sure it’s fairly even. Maybe?

I have stuff on left and right. That back end is so lite anything you add, anywhere, will help
