Yes, they are aluminum and weigh only 3 Lbs for the pair with hardware. The stock steel struts weigh 6-1/4 Lbs for the pair. They're not so heavy, just solid bars with threaded ends. I would suspect that the A-bodies struts would be a tiny smaller thus a tiny lighter in stock form. Drums are lighter and smaller, spindles are lighter and smaller, I could be wrong being that I am not much aware of the A-team schematics in full.
