The RPM front bumper weighed in at 3.5 oz. The SC10 stock bumper weight was 1.5 oz. This was done on a cheep dietary scale I used for oval racing back in the day. 2 oz off the front of the truck I would bet would cause some difference in handling. Going to test this weekend and see. Will take the front bumper with me to try the RPM one as well.
Nice. Seals the deal for me. I thought of getting one, but I never liked how far it stuck out from the body. Seems like it would dig in at some spots. I don't know if the approach angle is different from stock but it looks like it is.
