They get even heavier than that, but 130 lbs seems to be the upper end of what most people prefer. Do you have or plan on adding a winch? If no, then that weight is no issue at all. Add the winch, ya its starts getting up there.
A quick amazon search shows even most of those full width bumpers don't go above 80-90 lbs.

Searching Amazon is why I asked. Noticed most were exactly where you mentioned which seems significantly less to me in relation to the one I got. I have heavy duty springs so I’m hoping some extra weight will soften them up a bit. But don’t want to sag or dive when breaking.

I have a quadratec QRC full width with a Smitty X2O. It’s a pig of an assembly. It weighed enough to where it sagged my front suspension by nearly 1.5” over the course of a couple years (factory suspension). So much sag in fact, that I was left with about an inch of travel to the stops, and bottomed out often over bumps. It has since sagged my Mopar lift about 3/4”, but it was restored using a spacer.
It’s not the full 180 pounds that did the suspension in. Just lifting the bumper with maybe 50 pounds of force brings the suspension right back.

Bumper, skid plate and winch totals 180 lbs. With a EVO 3-1/2" and Hydro bump stops, the front sagged 3/4" and the "bump stops" where always hitting just driving around town. Installed a 1/2" spacer on front coil springs and all is good now, much better. it's level and the stops aren't hitting
