Weight Concern?

[C3ntury]

Heya everyone,

I have an 09' street queen commuter that I, on occassion, will help people move. I am planning some exterior mods that will add about 150lbs to the bed and possibly up front as well (bumper/hood). I've browsed through various threads online regarding weight and it seems some people are concerned enough with weight distribution, mpg's, and stressing the engine/tranny that they trend towards carbon fiber, part relocations, and even removal. Other than those whom are looking to take off time on their runs or those that tow regularly, how much of a "real world" concern is it considering the "stress" we supposedly put on our trucks anyways?

Thanks for the input

That little amount will not affect much.

Yea I agree. It would probably just be the same effect as if you added an auxiliary gas tank to the bed, or if you were carrying 2 or 3 passengers. I don't think that amount of extra weight would be anything to be concerned about.
