Probably not unlike most on here, I have a my wish/"to-do" list. I'm working on getting my rig ready to do a more serious run or two this next summer. Currently I'm running a TF leveling kit and quick discos, Rock Hard evap relocation along with the BFG MT T/A KM's (255/75/R17).

I keep flip flopping around the order of my list as I'm starting to get into some of the more expensive upgrades (at least for my budget at the present...can't wait until it's paid off to free up some more funds for mods ). Anyways, the following is what my list consists of in what I think is the most logical order. Any insight or thought as to if I'm on the right track or not would be appreciated as far as order of mods goes.

-Spidertrax 1.5" spacers
-OR-FAB rocker side armor
-OR-FAB rock rails
-Superchips Flashpaq
-TF 2.5" coil lift w/shocks
-PureJeep Bare Bonz front bumper
-GY Duratrac 315/70R17
-Evo 44 Mag sleeves, gussets, and LCA skids
-Front and rear ARB diff covers
-5.13 Yukon gears & master overhaul kits
-LOCKERS
-AEM Brute CAI
-Bushwacker flat fender flares
-Winch

 

good list, do the lift and tires first for sure.

 

I would also do the lift first. If you do the lift first would you still need the spacers? Also, I considered the Flashpaq but after reading what minimal gains you get I decided against it. I think that 300 dollars could be well spent towards other things. I personally think that after you put bigger tires you will get the best performance back from re-gearing. I drive a manual so I dont need to mess with changing my shifting points or anything. Lift, tires, armor, and if you really feel like you're missing out on power gears should be higher on the list! You will be able to concur more obstacles cautiously with more clearance and larger tires than stock with rock rails. just my opinion!

 

I should also probably add that I just put on the BF's. I was just going to go into 35's right away, but my brother came across a smokin' deal on a set of Rubi take-offs (wheels and tires) at the local dealership while he was doing some work on their lifts and I couldn't pass up the deal at that price. So, I do plan on running those for awhile at least since they're practically brand new. I also already have a Dynomax Ultra Flo on.

I want to do the gears, diff covers, and sleeves/gussets/LCA skids in one fell swoop while its apart. The lockers will probably come down the road a touch after that.

I don't want to rush into anything and wish I had done more homework first and regret the order of my mod installations. Too damn many choices! I know there are a few odds and end items that can go hand in hand as well with some of the above (adjustable trackbar, SS relo, adjustable LCA's, etc...), but I'm not going to miss out next summer on some off road fun!

 

I would do the lift, spacers, then tires all around the same time so it doesn't look too big for your tires.

 

IMO, if you wheel, go recovery gear first. Front bumper, winch, recovery kit with straps, snatch blocks, chains, etc, maybe throw in a hi-lift jack. Tires and lift are good so do them as a close second. They're sexy and provide immediate gratification but your stocker can do a lot off the showroom floor all by itself. Regardless of your rig, if you're stuck you're SOL. My 2 cents, anyways.
