some quick and dirty math:
80-100lbs for bumper
70-100 lbs for steel wire winch:
150-200lbs bumper with steel wire. subtracting 30 from both ends yields 120-170lbs with a synthetic line.
subtract that from your 56lb # you got and we are left with:
94-144lb weight increase with steel line
64-114 lb weight increase with synthetic line.
again, just some quick and dirty math. but you can see how quickly the weight adds up; even with removing the 56 lb stock bumper. we havent taken other things that hang off the bumper (such as shackles, lights, or any hoops) into weight consideration so your end number may acutally be slightly higher.

Obvious if you hang more shit on it its going to weigh more.
If you could add all the same crap to a stock bumper it would weigh more as well.
Heehawed back and fourth for several days and finally hit the order button a few minutes ago, Should find out if it was worth the $ in 2-4 weeks.
