Default Well,, what next

You can see on my signiture what I have done so far,, the tires and disconnect's go on Friday along with another 1.75" spring lift to help clear the new shoe's.
So what should be next,,, a chip of some sort,,,, 5:13 gears,,, winch,,, new rear bumper,,,, armor,,, lockers???

IMO, if you have the funds definitely start with the gears, you will need them with those meaty Grapplers, followed closely by a Superchips Flashpaq.

If you don't have the funds for the gears and the cash is burning a hole in your pocket go for the Flashpaq first. They are both "needs" not "wants"

Hmm, you have a 2.5" coil lift, and you are adding
another 1.75" spring lift to help clear the new shoe's
?? (that's a typo and you are adding spacers?)

Do you have any/all of:
a set of front adjustable ca's
extended brake lines
adjustable trackbars
extended bumpstops

These would all be a priority over bumper/winch/armor/chip.

The gears and locker should be done at the same time.
Add C gussets to your list.

I did the 2.5" OME coils and shock and I'm adding a 1.75" spacer kit.

If you have the money, 5.13s and lockers.
Then, bumpers and winch.
Then armor.
