Default Weight of bumpers
How heavy are the OEM bumpers? Are they heavier or lighter than Smittybilt or Rampage tube bumpers?

I switched to smittybilt SRC bumpers and they are way heavier then stock. When I pulled off stock I was under the Jeep getting ready for a good bench press and then it was like nothing when the last bolt was removed. On the other hand when the smittybilt went on doing it solo I thought I was gonna drop a nut.

yes, they are really just plastic covers more or less. I would imagine most aftermarket front bumpers will weigh 2.5-4 times what the stock weigh. I would guess 3-6times on a rear bumper/tire carrier.
