what's the weight?

I just wanted to get some numbers on the front end weight of a 3500 dually CTD. I am having a set of springs made up and I want the ride to be good. My vehical is a 1995 chevy suburban that came with a 6.5 gas conversion diesel. The 6.5 gas conversion is gone and a Cummins is in. I was on the phone with larry from national spring and for them to make a spring that rides and can carry the additional 300 LBS of the CTD he would need to know the weight of the truck minus the unsprung weight. I can subtract the weight of the dana 60 and tires because i have one on the garage floor waiting to go in. Thanks in advance for all your input.
