Any particular reason why you want to match up the front and rear bumpers?
Aesthetically you don't see them both at the same time and if you do very little of them and it opens up a much broader range of possibilities.
Myself, I have help up my bumper selection for a long time trying to figure out what matched set I wanted and finally have resigned myself they aren't both coming from the same company.
Also, on the exhaust, 2.5" in and 2.5" out and without dual exits. Other stuff may look cooler, but that's the only way to roll.

Olympic has crazy mean looking front and rear, but they look to be really heavy.
Front and rear don't have to match, but my anal attention to design requires them to at least compliment each other.
As for exhaust, I am relocating, sticking with 2.5, but do want dual exits....even if one is fake, it will still come out the back.

Check out the OrFab rear tire carrier. Sorry don't have any pics of mine installed yet. This Friday I hope to get mine installed. The advantage of this tire carrier is that it will not turn into a rattle can after a while. Look it up and you will see why.
As for lockers, go with ARB air lockers front and rear.
You'll love the 5.13 gears
I would have put off the superchip for the time being.
Good luck!

OK.
after reading around 40+ pages of posts about gears, I have come to this conclusion:
Most people prefer 4.88s for 35s with a stick
However, 35s with 5.13s are hailed by many auto owners, due to the different gearing in the overdrive. (.69 v .84)
almost all 37 owners seem to like 5.13s, unless they have a rubicon and have access to 5.38s, which arent available for lower models.
5.13s have a likelihood to diminish my mileage.
4.88s might not give me the oomph that I want at takeoff.
Anyway, I have chosen to go with 5.13s, since:
a. My 36s are in between 35s and 37s
b. I enjoy speeding around town, but am more relaxed on the highway.
c. I dont really care about the cost of gas....I want to have fun.
d. I only want to do this once....and id kick myself if I went with 4.88s and didnt have enough go.
e. My superchips tuner should help me adjust to compensate for the change.
