front bumper weight

I am looking to upgrade my bumper and greatly appriciate the sticky with all the pictures. I am not set on what to buy. But am wondering how much front end sag the Lib might get with an ARB. I currently have a OME lift and a hidden hitch with a warn 9000k . I left the winch on for a while and got some front end sag. Anyone got experience with this?
thanks

According to other posts I've read on here, unless you have the OME HD coils then you will definitely see some significant front end sag after installing a 100-pound ARB bumper.

which OME's do you have? thats where its really gonna matter

The Mediums are designed to handle the Bull bar ARB makes, at around 85 lbs. The HD's are specificly designed to handle a Bull Bar + Winch combination.

The light duty springs are a waste of time, from what I hear. might as well be stock.

I got the first All J OME kits early this year. they said heavy duty so I assume that is what I have. I am just wondering if anone else has seen any front sag after instalation ( not just due to normal setteling)? I really want to upgrade to the ARB to keep my winch on full time. i am also going to replace the cable with a syn cord.

I've got "pre" softride SkyJacker coils and after 45,000 miles(many abusive offroad miles) only 1/4" of sag,I have the front ARB bumber with WARN 9500XP winch(with synthetic rope).

tj where did you get the skyjacker coils from? I was looking into ditching the rustys coils for something a bit harder and stronger; that is if jeepin by al doenst get the 6 ' out before then.

Can't get them anymore unless you find them used,they stopped making them after about 1 year of making the 2 1/2" coil lift,which netted me almost 3.75" of lift.You can get the softride coils(they are supplied in the SkyJacker lifts now) but they are the same as the Rusty coils.
