It will be fine! it is true that added weight will put more "pressure" on ball joints, springs, tires, axles ect. But it would have to be a huge difference to actually make a failure happen faster... 100Lbs is no where near that, Bolt that bad boy up and go hit some ****!

Throw away that rear sway-bar You won't need it

Offset rims or wheel spacers will put more stress then a big bumper its no big deal ball joint are just one of those thing that take a lot of stress so they need to be replaced every now and them

For those of you who actually answered the question, thanks.

For those of you who need a pretty rig, paint yours pink and make it a street queen with knobby tires. The rest of my jeep is ugly, so this will match up perfectly.

Gorillaxj, the only reason I kept it was to make bar pin eliminators for the back shock mounts. The rest of it is scrap
