What has to be removed to get a cc sb 4x4 d/a 2500 down to 7000 pounds including driver? Can I get that low with traction bars and pulling hitch?

That's a loaded question, how much does it weigh now? (with you in it.)

I'm at 6800# with full pulling gear listed in my signature on the truck minus hanging weights with me in it and 3/4+ tank of fuel

remove: back seat, PS battery, rear bumper, spare tire, tailgate, jack & tools, spare tire winch, toolbox, nerf bars, bedliner, bed mat, ect

I've been weighing between 7300 and 7400. Thats with tool box in back, front weight bracket, nerf bars, bed rails, bigger tires, low fuel, no spare, the bed is rhino lined. I am 270.

:rolleyes: Good luck...... tailgate is only 60 lbs. If your toolbox is like mine just dropping that out was 250-300 lbs. but I got alot of stuff in it. Other than that everything Tomac said will add up.... eerrrr... take off weight I mean.
