Interesting information even if it possibly could be a little skewed.

 

I have Nascar Intercomp scales.

 

Which scales did you buy and at what capacity?

What about a "ramp" like a piece or two of plywood to drive the car on the scale so the suspension is already settled.

Small plywood ramp would be easy and effective for sure.

 

After goofing around with it, I will do that going forward.

Our products are fully assembled in our US facility, which offers some of the most reliable racing scales on the market, including high-precision billet scales favored by champions in all forms of motorsports.

Will weigh 1,500 LB. per wheel

 

Those are incredibly nice. I saw some dedicated race scales when I was searching. Simple fact is they were not in the budget. Even if they were, I would need to use something like that more than once or twice a year to justify the cost differential vs less than 100 bucks for my two scales.

 

Unless you are a serious competitor and really depend on the accuracy of readings within a narrow margin I think $200 from Amazon makes far more sense to the majority of us.

Those racing scales are nice. But that kind of money could make a lot of other great improvements to a RZR. At least mine, lol. That’s new cage money.

 

agreed. I used cheap Walmart analog scales for snowmobile suspension setup. a set of amazon shipping scales would be luxurious in comparison. If I'm spending a bunch on scales I'd want something that can weight my 26k RV. That's not happening anytime soon.

thanks for the link @Croe. I did eventually find that one. Lots of 440lb scales... but found a few 660lb

side question: did you verify relative accuracy between the scales?
Did you buy and use four or get by with two or even one?

 

I think as a minimum you need two scales.

 

Check out this video before purchasing scales.

 

Not applicable for measuring the weight of a vehicle. There is a lot more to it than measuring the compressed height of a spring and calculating weight. This method also only measures sprung weight.
