I am about to build up a J3 and what to keep it light so a few queestions:

With the project came 800 x 4 as well as 600 x 6 wheels. Assuming 800 tires on both anyone know the weight difference between the Cleveland wheel, tire and brake set up compared to the stock Cub 800 x 4 expander tube as well as the Grove system?

What is the lightest covering system?

The project has been modified to take -18 lift struts but I do need to buy struts, anyone know the weight penalty of the heavier struts?

And one more thing, I also have -18 gear complete with Hydrasorb, anyone know the additional weight?

Thank you,

Pete
