I'm doin a physics experiment about static equilibrium with my truck on jackstands in the back and a jack in the front and all i need now is the exact or closest approximation of the center of gravity of the truck.. extended cab preferably please.

i put two jackstands in line with each other and came up with about 80 in. from the furthest point on the front bumper.. I just need to know like on the vertical axis where it would be.. I'm assuming it would be pretty low like at the body line of the truck (2nd gen.)

for example..

I put a lil atom thing there where i think it should be abouts.. anyone??

I think extended cab 4cyl is around 3,400-3,500.

I think 3,900 would be a bit high but idk.

the weight is in the door jam ;)

This is good info to know!

I was told zr2's weighed maybe 3900, but my extended cab v-6 weighs about 3200 and i have read it in magazines around there too. i would like to know though for sure
