New member here with a 2014 Anvil JKUR-X. I've done some little mods here and there but am about to add a 3.5 RK Stage 2 lift, Weld Rekons, 315/70/17 Duratracs, and EVO sliders...this has been an expensive summer!

Welcome to the sickness! Originally from Dickinson myself. Migrated to North Texas in 1999 and been here ever since.
Looks like you have a pretty good plan in place so far. You'll love the RK lift! Might consider going with a different tire, though. Not that there's anything wrong with Duratracs....I'm just not a fan of GOodyear rubber. Tends to be a little on the soft side for my taste and wears out fairly quickly. If you want a tire that won't destroy the budget, is pretty true to size, wears really well, and performs great on and off-road, look at the Nitto Trail Grappler in 35x12.50-17. I've been running them in 37x12.50-17 for over 40k miles and can't say enough about them. I'll likely have to replace them in the next 5k-10k miles, as they're pretty worn at this point, but my Jeep isn't a daily driver, so it's not a high priority for now.
Again...welcome and definitley post pics before and after the goodies are installed!
