First Fill-Up (of many)
Arb is super fugly. Another option is Hardcore offroad. Fairly light for a steel bumper. Don't know exact weight, but it's lightish.

Suspension wise, you could just throw some OME coilovers on to regain lost height on it and call it a day.

I hadn't heard about hardcore and I likey! Looks like they weigh about 150. I wonder if you even need to bother with a suspension mod for that?

Still trying to figure out some of the jargon. By coilovers, do you mean a kind of shock absorber?

The front suspension on the 2nd gen is held up by a coil spring that is captive over the front shocks. Hence the term "coilover." Additional weight is compensated for by increasing the spring rate of that coil spring. I think stock is 450lb/in. Meaning that for every 450lbs the front suspension compresses one inch. As you add weight to the front, bumper, winch, etc, that makes the front suspension ride lower. If you upgrade the spring to a 500 or 550ln/in rate, that will compensate for the additional weight and you'll see returns in ride quality and height.

I spent last night looking at station wagons on Craigslist. I decided I either want to get a Mercedes or Audi wagon. I found a Panamera but cant afford a $40k vehicle.
