Question What should I do next?

Ok

So as of now i have done this:

RE 3.5" lift
35" MTRs and new procomp rims
Warn powerhouse 9500 lb winch
LOD front midwidth bumper and rear full size /w tire carrier
Recovery kit

Have LoD sliders commin and TUFFY SECURITY DECK ENCLOSURE...

So, keeping in mind this is my daily driver 1st and offroad toy 2nd, What next?

New shocks? The upgrade to the RE kit?

yeh control arms will make it ride better....
stock front drive shaft and possible rear will fail if you flex
gears will make it more enjoyable to drive and remove stress from transmission and engine
gussets and axel shafts will beef up the front axel
evap skid for protection

So what benefit with a programmer really?

I have the AEV procal one just to make sure the speedo was right..

I have read alot of threads on these and it seems ppl are divided on if they are worth it or not?
