I have these on my van now and like them. Compared to the steel tube bumpers I used to have, which front by itself weighed about 120 lbs, and rear only slightly less, I've noticed a HUGE difference in both the feel of the van during normal driving, tendency to "dive" forward during hard stops before, and the big interruption to approach/departure angles with the T-bupers. The flat steel bumpers are a big improvement AFAIC. bob On Jan 18, 2011, at 12:38 PM, Oxroad wrote: > I just got word from GoWesty that the set of their Steel Plate Bumpers > WITHOUT the trailer hitch weight 120 pounds. > > So roughly 60 pounds on the front and 60 on the rear.
