Default Smittybilt Xrc tire carrier

So i have the smittybilt Xrc front bumper w/ stinger and winch. And I dealt with front sag and got it situated. So I was wondering if with the rear tire carrier would I have rear sag? Thx

Whats the weight on the rear tire carrier? I'd be quite surprised if it weighed anywhere near what you put on the front.

Ok.... I stand corrected... that's a bit more then I was thinking it would be.
how are your leaf springs and shocks? I'd say worse case you might have to look at stiffening that up... depending on what your current suspension setup is...
Do you know how much additional weight you put on the front?.... if it's close to what you're putting on the back, it might just even the whole rig out for how it sits.

it's gonna be a lot more weight in the back. I have the full springs from Rough country's 3" lift and their 1.5-2" shackles.
