Post a pic and info of your favorite lightweight (80lbs max) bumper!

I like the ShrockWorks stubby, weighing in at 44 lbs! Really dig the metallic paint option too! And price includes a skid.

Another that I like is the PSC brawler lite mid with, 74 lbs.

Trying to pick one soon, just so many options. If you all can help me, that would be awesome!

Winch capability is low priority. Would like to be able to use the stock fogs. Tow hooks are needed. Full width, mid, or stubbys. And as mentioned really don't want a 100+ pounder!!!

Thanks!

Those are the two I've narrowed it down to as well... Shrockworks notorious lead time might just swing the decision in PSC's favor. Especially since they are putting the stinger in the brawler lite soon...

The problem I have with this one is that there are too many pieces. Looks nice, but looking for something more slightly stronger.

That's about as light as the stock bumper!
