Personally after off roading for many years I think lockers are more important then a lift

This is my daily driver but each weekend I'm out searching for places to offroad. I'm on Florida so it's pretty flat. Got stuck yesterday and did not like it.

i would go lift and tires first, but if you cant do both then just get a rear locker. It really matters on what you plan on doing. If you want to eventually go to a bigger tire like a 35 or 37 then i would lift it and get the tires, then do you lockers and regear so you dont have to open up the axle twice

It all depends on how much your willing to spend and if you can do the install yourself.
