NO ONE on this Forum has ever even mentioned or addressed the term "unsprung weight" as far as I know; this alone is impressive. Keeping Unsprung weight as low as possible (for reasons of performance/fuel mileage) is the reason why we keep with the lightest tires (OEM 245s) we can find in LR E range, and have not gone with massive and heavy 285s or 19.5 monsters. However, will transgress just slightly, and move to a 265 size tire 6 LBS heavier. That's about as far as I will go.
I upgraded from OEM to Rancho shocks after going to the 19.5's. Choosing the Vision over the Rickson rims was a cost as well as weight decision (the Rickson wait for an order didn't help either).
