4X4Labs rear bumper weight(info) (1 Viewer)

[azrider]

Brittan and I finished up the last few things on my rear bumper last night. I took it off this morning and weighed everything, just to see how heavy it really was. I then took it all to the powdercoater, Signetix, the same company that did Murf's and Cook's. Here are the #'s.

the whole bumper with tire mounted on it 281 lbs.
bumper only w/ spindles 139 lbs.
wheel and tire 89 lbs.
tire carrier 21 lbs.
both swingouts 31 lbs.

you still have to add a few lbs. for spindle bearing assemblies, bumper mounting hardware, and lug nuts. Just thought i'd throw this info out there in case someone was wondering.

BS, your arms can't lift that much.

PS, You now need new springs. You should buy 2-3 different types so you can obsess about which one is best.

I knew it was 200+ and I CAN lift one...

I have to be careful about how much I lift, sometimes I forget I had back surgery a little over a year ago.

Actually thats almost true. When I put mine Labs bumper on I was bottoming out all the time in the rear. I moved up from heavies to J's and took care of most of that.
