Ugh. I didn't think the hitch was going to weigh that much. I'm thinking of doing the same thing but with the new Warn Zeon.Umm yep the hitch is 60 pounds... the winch is about 80 pounds ... its the warn cradle and a superwinch 9500 ... I went with the rope instead of the steel cable to save weight.. But yes the part that bolted to the truck is about 60 pounds... But I ahve never seen a winch mount bumper under about 200 pounds so I figure from strictly weight I am ahead...
