I don't know the exact number but it's probally less than 250 pounds, I tried lifting one with the wheels on it too... heavy

I'm thinking closer to 300lbs. I figure almost a 100lb for each hub/drum and andother 100 for the pumpkin. All I know is, it is heavy! I had it completely off my 69 for leaf spring bushing replacement.

I purchased one from the local pick and pull for $100 including drums and springs. Three of us could not lift it. Three of us could not drag it out from under the truck we had to get a fork lift. You are going to spend a whole lot more than $100 on shipping.

Its been a while, but the last time i moved it, i loaded into my rig myself and nearly blew a gasket. I was figuring somewhere between 300-400lbs. It can be done, just lift one end put it on the tailgate, and go lift the other end. Youll need to take right ahold of it, its kinda heavy.
