I think the record weight was listed at 85#s. The winch, however, definitely added some additional weight. Either way, the suspension (first AHC and later Ironman torsion bars, etc) seemed to handle it fine. I’ve been happy with it, despite my plan to go to the 4X4Labs front bumper. No complaints with the powder coat either.
The real problem with having no gap is that the bumper moves differently to the body- so you risk getting dreadful rubbing on the bodywork
Have a look at this video:

p.s fast forward to 3:52- they do a corrogation test that really shows the bumper moving against the body

I don’t mind a little gap as I understand I don’t want it right on the body. I just want to adjust it a little to remove a little bit of the gap.

I sure do!
I ordered one from BumperSuperstore back on 6/22. Told me it was 6 weeks from shipment then. Waiting for months with NO answers. On 9/1 they tell me it's now "probably" 2-3 weeks before shipment. I email them again SEVEN weeks later after hearing nothing. "We're reaching out to the supplier, should have an answer in a couple days". 3 weeks later, no answers, still waiting. Was it it even ever shipped??? I'll give them one more week and I'm done. I hope BumpItOffroad wants some money.
Just found out today that they took my $, then cancelled the order with TJM in July, been stringing me along every since. WTF?
I wish you were in CO. I'd buy it.

File a dispute with your bank or credit card company. Did they ever refund you?
Wow, that really sucks. I ordered my ARB from Bumperstore. Other than a 3 month wait, which wasn't their fault, I had a good experience with them. Good luck getting things sorted out!
I opened a dispute with PayPal yesterday after sending a scathing email the day before demanding an immediate refund. Unfortunately I paid right my bank account via PayPal, whereas I should have used a CC for extra protection. I finally got a response later in the day saying we can't refund you, you've opened a dispute. Uh,,, PayPal is still waiting for your response to the dispute which should be "yeah we took his money and didn't give him anything, sorry here's the money back". I'm not sure what 3rd option there looking for here. I have to wait for the process to play out. Now I just have to decide if I really want the SLEE so bad that it's worth $600 more then BumpItOffroads? That almost buys sliders too sooo.
I'm sure you've bought one by now but it weighs about 100lbs. The shipping box says 112lbs but it's a little lighter

I see this
I understand you want to mount LED pods in the center holes. But it seems you don’t have any pods in mind now. This could be what I need you to do before I can work something out:
1. Measure the size of the opening
2. Research on the pods you want to mount
I don’t have the bumper. So I cannot measure it sorry.
