LOL! 80lbs! No that will not even come close to overloading it. Don't forget to minus your stock bumper weight. 30lbs?

I have a front hitch, tow hooks and a 10,000lb winch with a mount and a push bar and skid plates. All together it weighs maybe 130lbs. If you want you can check the door sticker it says the allowable front end weight. It can handle probably close to 1,000lbs extra.
