how much is to much?
Can you put to much weight on your vehicle? I have a 3.5 RK lift on the way, and ordered my F & R bumpers and rock guards, they are going to add around 360 lbs according to LODs site. is that increase pretty standard or will i see sag in the future.
Those will be somewhat heavy, but with the RK coil kit that you're getting and the fact that most people here get heavier aftermarket bumpers, armor, sliders, etc. for their JK's too (LoD's are a well known quality brand around the forum), you should be fine.
On the inside of the driver door frame, there is a sticker. it tells you how much additional weight the vehicle can handle.

I agree that improving your suspension will help "handle" the extra weight, there is one consideration that goes into what a manufacturer calls GVW, brakes. That sticker is telling us what they feel, and can use in court as a max GVW and it's stopping ability.
That being said, you are not going to "overload" your JK with bumpers and rails. But maybe having 4 250 pound guys riding with you, 2 coolers full of beer and gear on top for a weekend trip, might!!!!
Have fun and when you've got it loaded up with stuff and friends, be careful.
