Default Upgrades...NEED, WANT, WAIT?

I recently upgraded my 4dr Sahara auto by installing the Clayton 3.5" suspension with Bilstein shocks and added 35" BFG KM2 tires on Crager 17" wheels. I have been doing some reading trying to determine the upgrades I still need (versus want) to add. Any suggestions? Anything I should move to the top of my NEED list, or move off it? Thanks.

NEED to do items:

Hypertech programmer to adjust odometer, shift points, etc.
New front driveshaft - Tom Woods (will this resolve skid clearance and tranny pan issue?)
Oi pan skid (Rock Hard, etc.)
Rock sliders
Relocate/skid EVAP canister (Woods)

WANT to do items:

Gears (5.13) R&P Overhaul kit
Superior Axle & Gear Super Dana 44 - 35 Spline Rear Axle Kit w/ ARB locker
Alloy USA Axle & Gear Evolution Series Front Axle shafts (inner/outer driver & passenger) for Dana 30 Front Axle
ARB Locker for front
ARB air compressor

WAIT to do items:

Front bumpers and winch
Rear bumper w/ tire carrier
Diff covers

Good list and order. But I will suggest looking into Off Road Evolutions inner C kit and control arm skids.

I would swap that Hypertech for the AEV Procal! Mine will be in this week, so no feed back yet...But its $135.00 that does a LOT more and for 3/4 the price!!
