From what I hear the total weight difference by the time you take the existing bumper off and install the bumper replacement is about 50-80lbs more than stock. I can't say for sure or not but that's what a Ranch Hand rep told me when I was looking at their products.

have you ordered it yet. i might be ordering one within the month. the auction says they have more than 10 and I called and confirmed that so I dont think they will sell them all within a month.
