Pretty sure ARB say 6500lb is max for an ARB Sierra bar...
I run a 9500lb winch in a bar I made myself and wouldn't go any less.

I run a tigerz11 12000 pound winch with rope in my ARB bar and it is awesome for pulling a little zook.

Yeah the bar is made for a 6000pd winch but I have modded mine to fit a Warn XD 9000 just had to remove the fairlead roller brackets and drill two new holes to mount the Complete roller set up on the face of the bar not hard to do.

6000 lb in mine it doesnt even know a sierra is attached.
you shouldn't need any more in a sierra,and just use a snatch block when pulling those really stuck trolls and cruisers.
my 6000 lb winch weighed 23kg with steel cable with rope its well under 20kg.
