Interesting tidbit for those that wonder about these kind of things.

Every lift I've ever installed settles slightly over time so no surprise here. I installed a Mopar lift on my Sport about a year ago and got 3.25" in front and 2.5" in back.

This morning I was in the garage and decided to measure things and see where it was at after almost a year and after installing a Mopar steel bumper a couple of days ago.

Results:
The front has settled just over .5" and the back .25".

Not bad. I wonder how much a winch will effect it?

It is going to depend on the actual winch you buy and what bumper combo you use. Plan on 0.5" to 1.0" range +/- a bit.

My plan is to stay with the Rubi steel bumper and probably get the Warn winch plate. I'm researching winches now and weight is one of the things I'm looking at.

Thought about the HF Badlands winch but that thing seems to be 15-20 pounds heavier than the competition.

At any rate a winch is in the future and not a pressing need.
