I would be willing to bet the calmini rear bumper wieghs less or just barely more than the stock rear bumper / class three combo that it replaces. Yes its heavy but so is that factory class three.
"the little engine that wont" is still a fitting title.

Okay so the front stock bumper weighs a big whopping 30-35lbs and the beer can step rails are about 10lbs each. Take the rear bumper out of the equation if you want
ARB bull bar = 70lbs
Winch =80lbs
sliders= 110lbs
skid plates= 100-120lbs
roof rack= 70lbs
driver =200lbs (average)
Total = 630lbs
minus the factory bumper and beer can steps = 50lbs
new total = 580lbs
New curb weight = 4780
Go ahead and throw in some tools and other misc. items and a passenger or two and you are now huffing and puffing.
If you think differently, you must have one of those special V-8s that everyone is trying to get their hands on
Go ahead and try to climb some mountain passes with all that stuff on there and you will change your mind real quick.... and I'm not talking about driving up to Big Bear either where you don't go past 40mph. Like I said, the flatlanders shouldn't have a problem with all that weight. I don't know anyone here that would turn down more HP if it were handed to them on a platter.
