Default Bumpers and spring sag?

Are there any aftermarket bumpers out there that aren't so heavy they will cause spring sag?

The new rough country is light weight and winch ready. It is also very easy on the wallet, i believe just over $200 shipped.

Factory or aftermarket springs? Pretty much any aftermatket steel bumper will cause sag of factory springs. I'm running the expedition one core bumper at 65 lbs and a superwinch talon 9.5 at about 65 lbs so about 130 lbs dropped my front about 1/4"

Factory springs, so you lost 1/4 inch with that set up... I was going to be somewhere around 160 lbs with what I was looking at
