Default Sagging?

Hey guys! I have the AEV 2.5 lift and was wondering if anyone who has this setup or any other 2.5" setup noticed sagging after installing aftermarket bumpers? I'm looking to get front and rear bumpers weighing in at 33lbs each but don't want my coils to sag. Will I have any issues with the bumpers being so light? Thanks!

I don't think you will have to much of a problem. I have stock springs and just installed a bumper that weighs 65 lbs and sliders that weigh 40 lbs per side and my JKUR still sits normal.

I doubt after you remove the factory feather-lite bumpers, then install those light bumpers, your lift won't sag.

You will be fine.

I wouldn't sweat 33lbs. You get into bumpers that weigh 75-100lbs plus a winch, you'll see some sag.
