Default what to do next??

ok so i put on a lift and got new tires. Was wondering what you all think i should put on next. i would like to see my pick up on my jeep get better but id also was thinking about puting in a new bumper with a tire swing because i dont know if my stock one will hold my 35x1250xr17 mt/r with kevlar. so anyone who thinks of anything cool or can get my jeep to have alot of pick up let me know!

Do the bumper/tire carrier.

x2. Do the rear carrier before you start to hear rattling and breaking welds. Then...go with either new gears, or at least a Flashpaq.

Gears. Gears. Gears. You can always use green slime and plugs to get by or haul your spare inside. New gears will get you some pick up. Superchips won't, at least not in my experience. Do the gears first you won't regret it.

I am lifting my jeep and putting new tires on early next week. My plan is to then save up my money and drive around. If I can stand the performance, my saved money will go to the tire carrier. If not, I will regear.

Also, I have a separate fund for upgrading the front axle. Once I have saved enough to replaxce it, I will regear the rear. I do not want to spend any money on the front D30 if I can avoid it.

In the meantime I will run 33s. Once my axle is replaced, then I will look at 35s. That is my strategy.

You're right...nobody regrets gears. I did mine before I went taller than 32" tires.
