Old flat center stazworks 17x9 with large rock ring: 57.8

Perhaps an ignorant question (but I won't know if I don't ask): What is a good brand/model hoist scale to buy for this sort of thing and wouldn't that be better than the wheel scale method (based on the issues we've documented about where you place the scales under a complete drivetrain)?

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to own a set of wheel scales to get corner weights for suspension, but that's sort of cost prohibitive for my budget. That said, I'm not sure I can even afford a 'quality' hoist scale....depending on what those run.

I know Vevor is cheap Chinesium....I just dont' know if it's acceptable for this purpose:

So; suggestions?

Mine is just an Amazon special 2,000Lb crane scale. Seems accurate enough based on my body weight hanging off it. I can post up exactly which one it is if you're interested, but I don't know if it is any better than the scales people discussed using in the first page or two of this thread.

I donated my BW1356 to willis_racing and decided to get a weight on it before he picked it up.

76.0Lbs for an HD transfer case, wet (yes I did a tare with the rigging attached to the scale)

That doesn't surprise me at all. Those fuckers are light for what they can take.

Iron head and block (aluminum intake) Ford 5.0L originally out of a '95 F150 with alternator, power steering pump, and smog pump, wet with oil and coolant. No flywheel/flexplate, 512Lbs. Only thing non-stock is the remote oil filter adapter.

I was trying to use it for mock up, but the tall ass truck intake is screwing me.
