Seem heavy for this truck? Get rid of 1000lbs and then I think it would be super!

Diesel engines weigh more, and it has been said the steel is thicker which will equal more weight.Also with the load these thing are said to be able to carry the spring packs will be heavy.The axles will have to be heavy.The transmission will weigh more.The tires will probably be a lt tire instead of a car tire so they will be heavy.
Tires 5 lbs each 25 lbs
Trans Guess 100 lbs
Axle Guess 100 lbs
Spring pack 25 lbs 50 lbs
Thicker steel 200 lbs
Diesel engine 300 lbs
All these numbers are guesstamation of course but I came up with nearly 800 lbs and didnt include a heavy frame, large fuel tank,,,,,,,,,,,
