I took mine out about a week ago and here are the results:

Rear bumper support with brace: 19.5 lbs
Front bumper support with brace: 20 lbs

I've heard from Burkhart themselves that their bar weighs roughly 10 lbs. So it's up to you whether you want to delete the stock one and pay 200 something bux for 10 lbs in weight savings.

I took the support out but my bumper isn't on yet. I'm still working on a few things before I put it all together again so I am unable to say if there is any sag. I've heard there are no sag issues so I'm confident that it will be a success.

I have the Burkhart front support and it supports the bumper well. The support really open the front.

I have a burk one and mine doesnt sag at all. As cliff said it fits awesome and opens the front up alot.

pic of it mounted up. Fenders fit flush. You have to do some adjusting. up and down and left to right.
