Lightest bumper/winch combo?

Anyone know what would be the lightest bumper and winch combo that offers both clearance, recovery points, decent protection and mounting a lightweight winch with synthetic rope that is capable enough to pull me out of most situations?

With this combo what kind of coils should I go with? Figuring 885's with 5100s would do fine but maybe go stiffer, especially if I want to armor the underbody. How much would a new skid plate, LCA skids, transmission skid, transfer case skid, and rock sliders weigh? How much would they load the front suspension? Enough to go up to 887s or 886s?

 

All of the aluminum winch bumpers meet all of your requirements. Pick one you like and put your money down. Winches are all pretty much the same weight per pound of capacity and all of them can be spooled with synthetic rope. If one comes with synthetic in the box you can be sure the extra cost is already accounted for in the purchase price. Again, pick any one you like.
