Default New front Bumper -- How much sag?

If I add a real off road bumper to my ride how much sag can I expect and will I see any noticeable difference in performance?

I currently have a plastic stock bumper and I plan to add a metal bumper in the range of 55-65lbs.

thanks for looking

50-60lbs probably not enough to make a difference. set something that weighs 60lbs on front bumper and see how much it sags.

Had a 2" spacer lift and lost almost an inch after installing SRC gen 2 bumper and winch. Installed a Rancho 2" sport lift and got back the lost inch plus more.

Default 130 lbs for posion spyder- mid and skid plate

maybe a 1/2 inch drop / not to even worry as far as im concerned

Go for it . You wont see any diff in handling either . maybe if you added 200 lbs ( bumper and winch combined ) you might !

I kept mine stock height no lift, no coil spacers, nothing .

I have a 2 inch BDS spring lift and a warn elite series front bumper without a winch and my front sags about 1/2 inch, maybe a an inch. Nobody else notices but me. Figured i would put a 1 inch puck on the front springs eventually. Doesn't effect the driving at all.

that ride already has a bumper. Where's a pic of your rig?

all you're doing is proving these guys right in knowing you're that same DB. "Shiftknowledge". Your life must be pathetic. Find something to do man.
