Default What to buy?

Can't decide between new front driveshaft (I have an auto 4dr), front bumper and winch, or swaybar disco's. Planning on doing a lot of wheeling this summer and I want to get useful stuff. I'm currently running a 2.5" lift 315/70 Kuhmo m/t's. Advice wanted.

Bumper/Winch

or

Disco's/Driveshaft (and lca's if you don't have them already)



When you disconnect, the axle drops further, which takes the driveshaft closer to the tranny, which rips the boot, spits grease, dries out, and then seizes...

Also, go crawl underneath and take a look at the driveshafts. If either are already spitting grease, that should narrow down your choice.
