Weight added from mods

[StingGrayUSA]

I have a 2019 JL Rubicon Unlimited and made a noob mistake and didn't measure height before modding it. I added bumpers slides and a winch. I do have the weight though. I added 347lbs but what I removed 112lbs of plastic. So that being said I added in total 235lbs distributed across the vehicle, and my question is should I do a lift to compensate, is that weight amount even enough to worry about? Should I just do a spacer lift? Any thoughts are much appreciated.

There's a very easy way to tell, look at your bump stops. Have you beat the crap out of them?
If they're still intact you don't need a lift due to the added weight. You aren't driving the Jeep hard enough for the weight to cause damage. If they're shot to hell, you need to replace them with heavy duty bump stops and possibly add a lift so you don't continue to beat the crap out of them.

Bumpers, sliders and a winch totalling 347lbs. I wouldnt worry too much about it. Do you notice any rake up front?

I do notice a bit, but it's hard to tell if its really much more than the factory rake already on it.

235lbs? I wouldn't worry. That's like worrying if you need a lift because you have a big guy as a passenger.

That's what I was thinking but wanted to get some input from others. Once I wear out this set of tires I'll probably look at new wheels and tires and do a lift then. Thanks!
