Approximently how much weight does a winch bumper and winch add?

I have just installed a two inch lift on my truck and I have ordered the slightly stiffer front springs because I am planning on installing a winch. Obviously, the truck is now a bit to stiff at the front because there is no winch installed yet.

However, I fear that it may be a bit too stiff even when I have the winch on it. So, I am curious to know how much weight a bumper and winch would add just so I can workout the hight loss I will have at the front and whether it will have any impact on the stiffness of the springs.

Thank you in advance.
 
I would say somewhere in the mark of 60 to 100kg depending on the which and bumper you decide to go with. Definitely not light so you can see why your suspension feels a but stiff
 
I would also say somewhere around 60 and 100 mate. If ti says it is for a winch then it should work fine when you have the winch on it
