Well I just corner weighted the truck and am I a HAPPY camper.My ideas worked!!!!
corner weights are w/175 in the driver seat and 185 in the pass[nav]
RF-1306
LF-1319
RR-1126
LR-1126
F to R- 53.6%
If any of you have corner weighted your truck it runs around57-59% ft so I have a marked improvement and thats with 30 gal of fuel in the cell!
As for what I did I think the big thing was relocating the motor and trans since the rear weights did not change much from previous.
I feel that this is about an Ideal ratio since you accel hard out of turns and that in itself will transfer weight to the rear.Stan
