I just ordered my front and rear bumper along with roof rack from nates4x4.com. Got everything for less then 1k. Went with 2 inch receivers in front in back to be able to locate my winch where needed. Check out the vendors that support the forum then check him out. Tell him Travis from ePawnShop sent ya

Guards your lights and front end, think of it as tube that follows the contour of the front end above the bumper itself

I'd wait and do your steering with your lift, unless you have worn out stuff that needs replaced now. No sense at throwing money at replacing stock parts.

Are the JCR bumpers any heavier than stock? I'm wondering if it would sag my front end lower in which case I would have to even out my lift

Yes the JCR will weigh more than your stock bumper, But not enough to sag your suspension unless you have a winch on the bumper than you may sag a little.

The stock bumper weighs maybe 10-15lbs at most the JCR will weigh atleast double !
