I will be adding Lod front and rear bumpers plus winch. Maybe sliders, more wieght.
How will this effect the ride if any?

Thank

Not at all. Front will ride a half inch or so lower, but still more than stable, or even more stable with the extra weight. You'll notice more ride effects from lifting.

I added my new front bumper with winch and 35s at the same time. The good thing was the bigger and heaver spare kept the front end from being so much heaver than the rear so the headlights only got slightly lower in the aiming department. Sure noticed a difference on the hills. Fifth gear is about where sixth gear used to be in the rpm range and I have one hill where fourth gear works much better trying to maintain 65 mph where sixth gear used to just make it. Need more power.

The Jeep will set a little lower on the springs. If you're sensitive enough to notice a difference in the power/ride when you have four adult passengers versus just yourself, it will be something akin to that. On top of that, at least in my case, when I added the rear bumper, jerry can and trail racks, I did notice that the rear end is a little looser in the turns.
