Does anyone know the weights of the front ends of early and full size broncos? Like if you were to drive the front onto a scale... (not the weight of the individual parts)
I know that a FSB without back side windows, no axles and no transfer case with a 400 weighs 3700 lbs. I would say, in running order the FSB would be at least 4500 to as much as 5000.
My F350 would almost qualify for your comparison.
The main diff (no pun intended) would the the Dana 60 up front, vs a Dana 44 for the Broncos.
Front end weighs in at about the same as my whole EB!
About 4250 if I remember. Total weight is 6500 or so.
If I can find my Truck Scale printout, I'll confirm those numbers.

Correction: Front end is 3480 lbs. (added 10-25-08)
I am supposed to call that guy today to trade my Mass Air for the 44. If that falls through I will call you about CJ's axle. Just trying to figure out what springs to use. I am sure that the EB is lighter than my LC, but i think the FSB springs might be too much.
