Default RR XHD Weight

So i've made my final decision, i'll be ordering my RR XHD Front bumper when my check comes in. That being said I don't have the cash right now for new suspension. I'm currently on stock X suspension. I won't be putting a winch on right away, but i'm wondering if either of these two setups is going to bog me down a lot.





I'm having a hard time deciding which I like more and figure the answer to this will help a lot!

Default Use a spacer.

Just by a 3/4" front spacer kit for about $50? That should do the trick.

I have the RR bumper with the Warn M8000 winch. That combination on the stock front lowered bu 1 1/2 inch. Front spacers would be needed in my opinion because the steering became heavy and the ride was harsh. I put on the TF 2 1/2 inch spring lift and my problem was solved too. But that is a much more expensive solution. Good luck.

Spacers are cheap or if you don't have a 2dr, pick up some rubi springs.

I think I heard somewhere that second bumper set like you have pictured is around 150lbs. Maybe get someone that weighs similar to go sit on the front of your stock bumper and see how much it sags just for a rough idea. Anyways, I like the look of the bumper set-up in the bottom picture. That's the exact one I'll be getting here shortly.
