That depends on the tires and wheels that you choose as some tires and wheels weigh a lot more than others. The lift doesn’t add to much weight by itself as it’s mostly a few drop brackets for the front suspension.

Plus rotational mass has a larger effect than static mass. You will feel the most difference in weight with the wheels and tires.

As for the weight of the wheels and tires it depends on what you choose. There could easily be a 50lb difference per wheel/tire depending on the combo you choose.

Yea, the added weight of the lift kit components will go completely unnoticed. However, depending on your tire and wheel combo, you could certainly feel negative effects from that change…especially if they are considerably heavier/taller. And if the tire is quite a bit taller and you dont regear, that will be quite a noticeable change as well…usually for the worse.

I honestly dont think it would be even that much, unless you go crazy big on tires/wheels. Pretty much everything that is added with the lift is replacing prior components...so basically a wash other than drop bracketry and the added weight of the new tires/wheels.

Out of curiosity, what makes you even question this?

A typical 35X12" tire like the Nitto Terra Grappler weights about 61-62lbs each.
A stock 32" tire weighs about 42lbs. So a ballpark difference of about 20lbs per tire. If you are concerned about mileage and acceleration and all that, the biggest issue will be wind resistance. Putting a lift on and big tires not only makes your truck heavier, it also makes it significantly larger. The engine will have to work harder to get it moving and keep it moving. Wind resistance is real issue.
