Default will i have esp issues with bumper and winch install

I have a RR XHD front bumper with ends and hoop and a Warn 9.5 cti-s going on this weekend. I also got heavier front springs, but they wont be here till next week. Will i have issues with the esp if the front is sagged a bit till i get the new springs on? Thanks in advance.

Just zero your steering wheel by adjusting your draglink

Extra weight on the front should have zero affect on your traction control system.

With that amount of steel on the front, you may have issues with your Extra Sensory Perception.

I ran mine for about 1200 miles after front bumper, winch and rear bumper/tire carrier. Zero issues.
After the lift, I had to get the steering wheel centered near perfect as possible.

I now have my ESC turned off using the "steering wheel dance".

Had an exact setup on my 08 two door rubicon, only difference was I ran a 9000 warn. No problems had put close to 30000 miles on it with stock springs, it did sag a little but didn't change how it handled, that changed a little with the 35" tires and 2.5 Teraflex budget lift but that was because of the bigger tires and it wasn't anything unmanageable, good luck and have a fun install.
