New tires would be more effective for a lifted 4x4 over the stock ones if you still have them. Not really cheap though...

Lock your rear and front dif. and you will be ahead of the game.

for your front diff, your only choices are the Detroit Truetrac and the ARB. I have the DTT and absolutely love it!

Remove rear sway bar
Clevis Lift (if you haven't already)
Additional rear upper iso pads


If you have welder/welding skills you can make your own sliders and skid plates.

Scan through the Fabrication section, there are some cheap mods that you can do there.
