Rusty's lift is on the way

Well I want to thank everyone on here that posted info regarding lift options, it was very informative and helpful.
I decided to go with the rusty's 2 1/2 " full kit. From the sounds of it this is a great lift for the price. If I had more money I probably would have went with a frankenlift, but I think this will be a great system for what I will be using it for.
I know alot of you out there said to go with OME springs and shocks or Rancho shocks, from different vendors, but I would rather get a complete kit from one company, plus I do not intend on getting a heavy front bumper so if the springs begin to sag after a while it shouldnt be an issue.

Now that the lift is on the way I could use some suggestions on the next mod I should complete? I dont do heavy offroading/rock crawling, I like to do alot of camping and trail riding mostly, but this is also my daily driver.
I plan on changing/adding the following:
Exhaust
Intake system
rock rails
skid plates
roof basket
wheel spacers
etc..........b][/b]

I think you will enjoy the Rusty's lift as well as learning about your KJ as you install it.

I went with the rear OME upgrade from Rusty's and have been glad that I did.

As others have sugested, make a list of the things, in order, that make sense for your to do next:

1. Tires
2. Wheel Spacers
3. Tow points
4. Skids & Rock Rails

Most of the rest is gravy ...
