What is the weight distribution of a 1986 Toyota Pickup single cab short bed IFS? I'm trying to calculate the sprung weight of each corner of the vehicle in order to calculate spring rates. I'm using this calculator; http://www.f-o-a.com/calculator.html

i have no idea, but some performance/tuning shops should have one of those fancy scales that will measure weight at each corner.

Why?

I want to calculate sprung weight at each corner in order to pair up the correct springs for a coil-over suspension.

Go to a truck scale and park the truck so the axles are on separate "pads". Be sure to have everything in it (spare, tools, full tank of gas, etc) that you will when regularly driving.

The one near me charges $8 and a re-weigh is free, so you could weigh it in "daily driver" mode and in "wheeling" mode, or before/after.

If you really want to be specific, remember to add the weight of the links, crossmembers/mounts, etc

Awesome, I'll have to find one around here and try it out.
