Default LOD midwidth bumpers + powerplant weight?

Anyone have an idea of how much extra weight an LOD midwidth bumper, rear bumper with tire carrier, and a warn powerplant would add? How much clearance will I lose with the new hardware and how could I gain that clearance back without doing a major lift? Would coil spacers work? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

you will loose about .5" of lift and yes, coil spacers will work out great to help you regain your lost height.

Your going to add about 350lbs to your jeep. It will definately change how it drives. It's a slippery slope. Most people add the bumpers then the lift to adjust for the weight of the bumpers. Then wheels and tires to fill the wheel wells. And gearing to get your power back. Oh and then ....
