Ultimatly after you add the weight of the brush guard to the weight of the stock bumper you probably weight about the same as a full Shrock bumper.
Then also remember the how much you kill your approch angle. And then remember that the brush guard doesn't really protect anything and has been shown to cause more harm than good when it comes to protection. Then you look at the fact that a full Shrock bumper isn't much more than that brush guard.
Bottom line. If you plan on wheeling at all, for go the brush guard.
If you just want it for lights and don't plan on wheeling, then it's probably a great solution for you.
