Lifting front to offset possible dip from brush guard and winch.

Let me start off by saying, I am not an off road enthusiast. I am more of a weekend warrior just looking to have a little fun. I would like to get the SSO slimline brush guard and a winch; probably adding approx. 140lbs to front. I am worried about the front dipping. I have a 2019 TRD Off-Road 4x4 and it came with Bilstein 4800s. I am considering the Bilstein 5100s as they are adjustable, and I can just raise it enough to get it back to the stock rake. Am I looking at it wrong? I am new at this, so please be gentle. I would like to get the guard and winch without breaking the bank, but I would like it done right. I appreciate your opinions. Thanks.

Sounds like a good plan and cost effective.

 

I think you’re on the right track. You might look into the Bilstein 6112 for a few hundred more. If you’re going to tear into the suspension you might as well improve it.
