Aluminess vs Reunel Bumpers

[LoneStarJR]

I have a 4X4 SMB on order and I need to decide on the bumpers. I prefer the look of the Reunel bumpers and I prefer the idea of steel over aluminum for when I get hit in the parking lot. (It just seems like it'd be easier to repair a steel bumper than an aluminum bumper.)

However, my van will have a diesel and a front winch. The good folks at Sportsmobile (Texas) say I will have too much weight on the front axle if I have the steel bumpers.

Does anyone know how much more the Reunel bumpers weigh over the Aluminess?

thanks in advance.
