Does adding one of these put so much extra weight on the front end and shocks that the ride or mechanical problems occur?

 

No Sir, I do have the Westin Chrome Plated Stainless Bull Bar on my front end, and at most it weighs 20-30lbs. I carried it in one had box and all when I got it. youll be amazed if you buy a Bull Bar and how small the package it comes in. Even though its very light weight, it is very durable.

And with the full Grille Guard, even though it is heavier, there is no extra weight on the front shocks, the truck is big enough and strong enough to support it. my buddy at work has a 05 CC silverado and there was no difference when he put it on and the full grille guard is somewhat heavy.

no difference. no mechanicalproblems. period.

 

These trucks are equipped for snow plow set ups, so a 30 Lb Bull Bar, pffffft, not a problem.

 

It might ride a little nicer mine dose with my toolbox in the back it weighs about 6 or 7 hundred pounds.
