20lb reduction off the front is quite a bit. Take a hole saw to the mounts and swiss cheese them, you can do the same to the bumper on the bottom. I bet you can take off another 10lbs of that thick steel. They built all that stuff up there to hit a truck at 40mph and only scratch it.....lol
If you can muster up a few bucks, a fiberglass bumper would be the ticket on the front.
heres a pic of what i would do to the mounts and front steel band. swiss cheese it with a hole saw and then cut out the centers with a plasma cutter or cut off wheel, then hole saw in between the ovals.
