I have the whole lot: front guard, sump plate, two recovery points and the nudge from chief. The added weight is not that far from the bullbar (I think). We tried first with the recommended "non-bullbar" kit, overall lift was only 30mm in the front. So we decided to go bigger. Rides great, not as fun as before (60-70mm is a lot of lift!!!), but not unsafe at all. Fuel economy was affected by less than 1l/100 (I'm riding 285/50R20 Continental), but I do ride all the time without the front fascia, so I'm not sure if it would be better (I don't think by much). To be honest, rides close enough to stock. I can't complain.
When on muddies (275/70R18 Bighorns), is a different ball game. But then, it is a proper offroad vehicle ;p
