Those are pretty cool! The website doesn't say how much the rear aluminum bumper weighs. I'll call them and find out. Gonna try to get feedback on these also. Thanks for the info!

I just installed the Rockslide rear in aluminum in May ( I originally ordered the one without rear lights, but they had a rear light one available immediately so I took that instead). BTW, the website is confusing: the aluminum came painted.
When the shop called RSE, we got the shipping weight as 50lbs. It was really light, and felt lighter than that, maybe 30-35?

Really well built, everyone in the 4wheelparts shop liked it.
