I have a sizeable spreadsheet for weights from when I was planning my build. Top one (white/black) is about 160lbs. The lower one from Alu-Cab is about 140lbs according to their media. The glider is about the same as them in weight. Decked is like 200lbs last I read.

The metal shells are lighter than fiberglass... the standard ARE CX cap is 200lbs. Hell you'll have 100lbs for a steel rack or 75 for aluminum so the cap is well worth the weight for the utility IMO. The glider or drawers are not for me.
I could like with 200 pounds on the shell I think.

Point being it all adds up, and that decked system is heavy as shit

Yeah that's my take as well. Even being extremely weight conscious and making sacrifices, I'll still be within 200lbs of GVWR.

Here I would have figured the fiberglass shell would have been lighter than the stainless steel RLD but not as light as the Alu-cab so I am guessing if ARE comes out with the HD version of the shell it will weigh even more. It is, the ARE, the best looking shell if you are looking for it to compliment the body lines. The Cargo Slide is closer to 175 lbs but that's not much different than the 200 you mentioned.
