Default New bumpers

Hey guys! I was just wondering if when adding new front and rear bumpers do I have to loosen all of the control arms and retorque or can I leave them alone. I'm just curious if the bushings tend to bind when adding extra weight while on the ground. I currently have a 2dr with the AEV 2.5" XT suspension lift and Geometry brackets. I'm running pretty light and wanted to add some weight plus get rid of the plastic bumpers. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Oh, and I decided to go with Hanson Offroad bumpers. Thanks!

Depending on the weight of the bumpers, you might need to install spacers to get your ride height back.
