Vehicle: Looking to buy a Suzuki Jimny

Hey guys on my 2015 Jimny I'm running 215/75r15 AT's on stock suspension and stock rims. I haven't experienced any scrubbing so far, but if I wanted to add a bull bar, is the extra weight going to cause scrubbing if I don't lift it? Any one running bigger tyres on stock suspension with a bull bar?

I'm looking at the Outback Accessories commercial bar.

Cheers

No reason it should as if it's not rubbing now as it cycles through the suspension, even if it does sit lower with the bar it won't rub.

Also the front bar is the limiting factor clearance wise on a jimny so you should in therory gain clearance

225/75 Tyres
The 2"lift in the front has sagged to 5mm above standard height, still no scrubbing with ARB steel bar with winch.

You can always add coil spacers to get the height back if your worried about sag.
