Leveling my FJ

I had my front bumper replaced with a ARB bull bar w/ winch for about a month now and noticedthat my FJ dips down from the front by 5+ degrees (according to my indicator on the dash). I notice that my FJ is lower in the front by viewing it from the side. The weight of that ARB bar plus the winch is heavy enough to do this.

I was thinking of adding spacers in front, but I was also thinking that there might be suspensions in the market that would lift the front up so it would be leveled again.

Has anybody experienced this? If so, can you suggest or recommend the best solution to level my FJ?

Old Man Emu has a lift kit that supports reg, med, and heavy loads.

Look here

I think the ToyTec people have something too.
You can click the logo, it's on the bottom right column.

How do you like the ARB bar and winch? Have you got to use it much?

I really want to get one.

No, I never used it yet. But I do get a lot of people turning their heads to check it out.
The built-in fog lights are awesome. It gives me more light at nights, especially in the wide range.

In regards to leveling my FJ, I was thinking of the following solutions (starting from inexpensive first):
1. Add spacers to front only.
2. Add Revtek's 3" front and 2" rear suspension lift kit.
3. Add Donahoe Racing suspension in front which is adjustable from 0-2.5"

As for the Old Man OMEs, there are a three kits: Medium load, heavy duty front load, and heavy duty front and read. I assume the heavy front load is what I need. Jusr curious, but why do you recommend Old Man OME?

I have a 1.5" front and 3" rear lif. Here is the link:http://truxxx.com/toyota_products/2007_Toyota_FJ_Cruiser_Lift_Kit.htm
Seems to work great! Toss on 285's and it will give an FJ a whole new more agressive look!!
