Question Bumper and Winch/Load on Front End

My 2008 2dr Rubicon tells me it wants a new bumper and winch. I am concerned about the weight on the front end causing the front end to sag or drive differently especially on hard breaking. I only started to think about this concern when I read some posts that indicated that they noticed a difference after the new bumper and winch. So...my question is "is there a noticable difference and is it something to consider/be concerned about?"

Thanks!!

if you have stock coils it'll probley sag.

However you can always throw some small spacers in the front to help out.

x3 on the small spacer or if you can get your hands on a pair of front stock coils from an unlimited rubicon will help lots as well.
