    I just installed a Daystar winch bumper and a Warn VR8-S winch.
    I was told by Daystar that the bumper wouldn't affect the approach angles. That's obviously not true. If it were, a little sag from the extra weight wouldn't be a huge deal to me.

    Has anyone had any experience with correcting the sag from this extra weight? I already have the Daystar lift.

    Your biggest problem isn't going to be say which you can't fix short of additional spacing on top of a life but the pull down from using the winch. When you use the winch if you winch another truck out of a hole which is deeper than your Jeep that downward pull will bend your bumper. I had to use my farm jack to bend it back.
