That empty weight sounds the same as mine. I am using round numbers from memory.
One more thing you will want to add is a Helwig Big Wig rear sway bar. I did this to mine and it made a huge improvement in control.
Wood to Alum .... what you said sounds about right.
IMHO when you add a rear slide (1172) you will be overweight on the rear axle. Also, the early 1172's had big problems to the point where Lance bought some of them back! Research .....Then RUN!!!!!
