Removing axle counterweights

Removing axle counterweights
Anyone know why the rear axle has the counter weights on the ends & what happens if they are removed besides sheding some unsprung weight. I am installing J&M products LCA relocation brackets & they have you remove them & use the hole to mount the bracket. I'm guessing they absorb some vibes or smething.

I think I will pull them off tomorrow & go for a ride before I put the lca brackets on & see if I notice anything. Then do the brackets if all is well. I will post the weight of the things I bet its a lot.

I removed mine and they made the rear end justatiny bitbouncier but since I have an Eibach Sportline suspension which is stiff as a board any extra bounce actually helps the ride. Losing the unsprung weight doesn't hurt either.
