Default How to raise front end after installing a grill guard

I just installed a frontier grill guard on a '08 Z71 and it is great but it lowered my front end by about an inch and a half. I off road alot in sand to go fishing and I need all the ground clearance I can get any ideas on how to raise my front end?

Its not for everybody but its a helluva lot cheaper, my buddy and I cranked the torsion bars a little to level the front end of my truck, ride quality was decreased but nonetheless a lot cheaper
