Default Will the rear end sag?

Hello. As of right now I have the R/R XHD aluminum front bumper, stock rear bumper, and stock suspension on my 2013 4 door sport. I want to buy the LOD shorty rear bumper with tire carrier, but I'm worried that my rear end will sag.

Will it sag, or i will be ok due to little front rake from the factory?

any input highly appreciated! Thanks!

It will sag. Maybe just to the point of being level, but it will drop.

Once settled it will probably level it out like mentioned above. Lod makes a sweet bumper, nice choice by wanting to go with that setup.

You can change your spring rate out and pick it back up if you don't like the way it looks.

I read about the air bags on this forum, but don't think I want to go that route. If it will end up being bad ride, or looks bad, I will start looking into springs!!

Thanks again for the help!
