If you know the type/model of Grove gear you have you can check their site for the specs including weight. Avid MK IV tail dragger comes in at 32 lbs.

My Kitfox 5-7 Grove spring TD 1500 GW (7500? aluminum) gear weighs 37 lbs.  The old KF 1 - 3  (2024?)spring weighed 27 lbs.  Alsheimers kicked in when I tried to think of aluminum numbers!  EDMO

I did the conversion on my old Kitfox, from bungee gear, Douglass wheels and shit Matco brakes to Grove wheels, brakes and 21x800-6 tires and the plane gained 12 pounds.  

Absolutely worth every ounce.
