Default weight differential

hello again all , i bought bumpers and rock protection for my '12 , i don't know what the stock bumpers weigh ( together ) but i will know when i take them off , the new equipment has a shipping weight of 240 lbs , my question is , when i install my aev 3.5 dualsport lift , will it lose a little due to the additional weight ? i hear so much about heavy bumpers and such , i just want to know what to expect . i know i won't be taking much additional gear , just the bride and myself and our golden retrievers ( 472 lbs or so ) and i don't think i'll ever need a winch , so this would probably be about it .

I installed a 3/4" spacer up front on mine to keep it level after the winch and bumper
