What is the actual weight of the bumper (not shipping weight)? Any need to install a levelling kit after the bumper was mounted without a winch?

Without a winch it only dropped about one eighth of an inch more than stock. It was barely measurable. I did not take note of the actual weight but it should be noted on the website.

Weight is about 90 lbs. I was able to install it myself but it was heavy. I don't have a winch and it maintained pretty much same factory rake. I can't tell a change in the front dropping after adding this bumper. I have a 2014 2 door Sahara.

I don't know exactly. I'd guess around 70-80 pounds. I was able to install it by myself by balancing it on my thighs while I got the first bolts started, if that helps.

Not a lot. Maybe a couple of pounds. Mounting has more to do with stability than with supporting a lot of weight.

Not sure of exact weight but I mounted them using stainless steel 3/16" toggle bolts to be on the safe side and have not had an issue

Roughly about 60lbs. I lifted it myself when installing it. With winch, it weighs over 150lbs. Not much drop in the front. I would say about 1/2 in. drop. You can compensate with spacers if you want. But it will even out depending on the weight and size of the tire. I run a 31in tire and 16 in rim. I am pretty evened out.

I would and did get mine heavier than I needed just in case I upgrade to a larger trailer in the future. My weight was 595lbs unloaded and I opted for 1000lb rated bars....works great! Hope that helps

This bumper has an intergrated winch plate. No need to purchase one. Right outof the box I mounted a 12,000 winch. Life is good.

Not sure but you will need a mounting plate. The best advice I can give you is to spring for a better winch. Mine gave out the 3rd time I used it. The switch burned out under normal use

This part of the hitch system is designed to fit into a standard two inch square receiver on the tow vehicle. It is designed to handle up to 1000 pounds of hitch weight. Hitch weight is supposed to represent about ten percent of the total weight of the towed vehicle. Too much or too little weight on the hitch of the tow vehicle leads to control issues with the tow vehicle. This system, when installed properly, makes the tow vehicle and the towed vehicle behave more like one unit. I have used this hitch with a twenty six foot camp trailer weighing in excess of 6,000 pounds when loaded and found it to work extremely well. Assuming your sail boat and trailer weighs less than 10,000 pounds and the tow vehicle is rated for the weight you are towing, you should find this works well for you. A single axle trailer is typically rated for about 3,500 pounds gross weight. Have it weighed - it is best to know for sure. The main portion of this hitch is adjustable vertically so you can set up both vehicles to ride level with the road. The brackets for the equalizing bars should easily mount on the trailer tongue. The sway control works well to dampen sway caused by passing trucks, but is rarely needed if the hitch is configured properly to distribute the weight between the trailer and the tow vehicle. The directions that come with the hitch are clearly written. Follow them carefully and you will have a good trip.

Not sure of the exact weight but it is a very sturdy and hravy hitch. I used a floor jack and jack stands to install it. I lifted one side with the jack and head the other side up to bolt it. I did have to cut away a small portion of the underside plastic splash gaurd. I'd say I spent 30 min installing it was fairly easy to install. I'd gues that the hitch weighs 60 pounds give or take. I've had it for a year and im really happy with it

It weighs around 6.5 or 7 pounds. Ive already mounted mine so I can't double check the weight but I'm pretty confident that it's around 6.5 or 7. Hope this helps.

I honestly don't know. But I can tell you it difficult to place it on hitch on your own But can be done with a struggle. Guess on weight 150 200 lbs

Yes, the winch mounts inside the bumper before it is mounted to the frame. It is quite heavy. Therefore, I took it to a body shop. We trimmed the mud flaps and did the wiring at home

Not at all. I would estimate the weight at 60#. I wondered about that too when I installed mine but did not notice any appreciable difference in the way my truck handled or the front end being lower.

I installed it and delivered to my friend, so I don't have the real weight, but it is not heavy, is could be around 2 pounds, I guess... Hope this helps!

The shipping weight from the product details is 12.4 lbs and I'd say that's about right. It isn't fully assembled, but very easy to put together and the Allen wrench you need for the bolts is included.

Well, the bumper has a built in class III 2" hitch. However, smittybit told me with the first one I bought, it doesn't have a tow rating. It's built for the purpose of recovery. The tow rating is dependent on the rating of your vehicle, not the bumper.Hope this helps.
