Starting my bumper design

So my design is very similar to many that have been built before on the forums. but i figure ill show everyone and let me know what you think. Also how heavy is to heavy....its currently 123lbs and still need to add a tire carrier on top of that. it is pure beef tho



The pipes going to the wings are spec'd at 1.25x.065 and the two supporting the hitch are spec'd at 1.25x.120, all the plate is 3/16 and the main tube is 4x2x.25. is this a little overkill?

you should be good, and 125lbs isnt too bad for such a strong bumper.
