I couldn't find anything on ther website w/ weight info? looks pretty cool. I wouldn't see it causing too much of an issue.

on amazon the shipping weight is 150 lbs but i talked to a guy from a local business who installs this stuff for a living and he stated that he installed a fab fours bumper on a 4x4 f150 and the thing looks like a 4x2. im about 200 lbs and i sit on the front bumper and only drop it about 1/2 an inch. just wanted to get other opinions before i dropped 1100

On their product description it states "light weight design prevents suspension fatigue" but hopefully someone with this product or similar can chime in.

---The best bumpers for suspension fatigue are Iron Cross. Base with Push is my personal favorite. The best place to buy I have found is www.rangeroffroad.com. Talk to Erik.

I hope their bumpers are a higher quality than their nerfs. I know a couple of guys who bought their nerfs at wholesale clubs (Sportsman's Guide) and they say the metal tubes are very thin walled and cheaply made. One guy in my hunting club (Ford F150 owner) sent them back...
