Default aftermarket bumper weights??

I want to replace the puny front bumper on my '11 2dr but just don't want to put a heavy chunk of steel up there. I'll never do any heavy offroad, only light duty stuff. I'm going to keep the tires on the small side too. Thinking of going to some 245 75 16s when the tiny 225s wear out. I love some of the aftermarket bumpers I've been looking at but thinnk they may look funny on a "smaller" jeep. Recently the Expedition One basic dx with wings has caught my eye.

Questions:

Has anyone actually weighed any of there bumpers? Not just a guess...Actually weighted them and how does that compare to the stocker?

Any other "lightweight bumpers out there worth looking into?

Thanks in advance

Expedition one core series...65lbs. The factory plastic weighs 39lbs so 26lbs not much difference. It is a very stout bumper too
