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...

The base plate is 3/8 High strength steel, 3X5 structured steel welded in one beed all the way around with 1X2 structre steel welded to that to create a shear reinforced from side to side winch effect then pwder coated... 60 pounds total weight with grade 12.9 bolts to frame...
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.

Talk to Jason at LEX Motorsports. Just got back from there today after they did tint and hood vinyl on my truck. They are able and very willing to fab stuff up to specs, just need to know what you want. Trevor over there has had lots of experience designing and building Raptor bumpers with and w/o winches.
