Rear Bumper/Tire Carrier and ? Weight ?

I have a brand new lift kit/shocks in my YJ - I'm looking to buy a new rear bumper / tire carrier from LLamabumpers... - I'm not sure of the exact weight of this combo - however I have to guess since it's made of steel, the bumper / A-frame and a 33 inch MT MTZ with a Classic II 16x8 Rim must be around 150 or so pounds -

so, 1) does anyone know the weight of this or similar setups
and
2) a dumber question - would you think that kind of weight will lower the back end of the jeep dramatically that would make the jeep look 'out of balance' ? And if this is the case - how to remedy - longer shackle ?

THx.

I don't think it will make a difference, if you put a 150-200 lb person in the back seat, does it sit lower? I know I can have people in the back and it does not make a difference. I have a swing out bumper, 33 inch tire that will be in once the bed liner for the bumper is done. So I hope it does not make a difference.

Someone has got to know for sure??
