Default Upgrades for a grand

Well i have around 1200 to spend on some upgrades to my 2 door Rubicon.

I have Skidrow skid plates and the evap skid plate now.

What i am looking for is something to help the proformance of the jeep out and to maybe lift the jeep slightly as i am not planning to goto a larger tire.

i have been reading post most of the night and am tired and hope this makes sense and does not ramble to much.

If you where spending 1200 for upgrades what would you lokk at doing

get a decent Budget boost kit with shocks, :$250-300
Airraid intake:$250-280
Upgraded Solid Differential covers front and rear: $250
Get that smittybuilt xrc8 winch: $300
Winch plate to fab with stock bumper: $150

All this on a Rubicon, you could go just about anywhere you wanted and have the axle protection and recovery gear for peace of mind!
