ARB front bumper and winch question

[Frogonery]

Been reading that installing this will cause premature wear on front end components and the weight will cause the truck to drive different. Never had a winch or heavy bumper on a truck, is this true?

I realize it’s a newbie question but no answers?

Adding weight to a vehicle is always going to add wear and tear on everything, not just the front end. A stock vehicle or lighter will be better on tires, brakes, etc. Run the kit you want and/or need.

this bumper doesn't really weigh much. it will make negligible difference.
