Default Proper front leveling question

At the moment, I have a factory mounted full brush guard in front of my Blazer.
I want to swap it out for a push bar, a pair of acc lights, and winch. I don't want the front end to sag because of the extra weight. What would be the proper way to level it off? A leveling kit or raise the torsion bars and re-alignment?

Or

I was also thinking maybe buy a cradle for my winch and mount a hitch in the front. So I can swap the winch out from front to rear when I need to.

Idk...What do you guys think?

Thanks, T

Any time you touch the torsion bars you are supposed to get an alignment after. I would think using the bars for this wouldn't hurt, because you aren't lifting it, you are simply returning it to stock ride height. So your cv and ball joint angles would remain correct. It's when you start going higher than stock, that parts start to suffer.
