Default Bumper + Winch Weight = Problems?

I'm running a 3.5" Rubicon Express lift with 33" Pro Comp Xtreme ATs. I plan on getting the Smittybilt SRC Bumper and adding a medium sized winch. Will the extra weight of the bumper sag the front down too much? If so, what can I do to correct this? Thanks.

What lift do you have?


I have the RE 3.5" just like the two guys above, and I also didnt need spacers with my Mopar bumpers and Warn 9.5ti winch...

Here it is with no spacers

I have a WARN up front also but was going to install the 2.5 inch teraflex budget boost plus an extra stack 1.5 inch spacer. I probably won't do this because of the Rubicon auto sway bar disconnects. I would like to but I don't know if it will cause a problem.
