Default I Bought me a new cherokee and want yalls opinion!

i know its a fullsize but hey its still a cherokee! i picked this up for 1500 bucks and its super clean the guy didnt know what he had! it has d44s front and rear! and a 360. im mainly using this as my tow rig for my cj my cherokee and my 4 wheelers (but not all at once lol)it is also gonna be my recovery vehical(i have a 13k winch that needs a home). she will also see a lil trail time! . do you guys have any suggestions or opinions for mods i should do? im thinkin about an on board air system. gettin rid of the 6in lift springs and doing a spring over lift with some shorter springs. maybe some 35s. a roof rack. i wanna know you guys thoughts? thanks.

man thanks alot guys! i like it alot! i went and looked at it 2 days ago and gave hime the money and i got the title and the keys. im going back fri with my gooseneck and pickin her up and bringin her to her new home! the only reason i wanna change the suspention set up is cuz it has 6in all leaf lift no blocks or shackles and it is a ruff ridin waggy! i head it tows and rides so much better on like a 2in lift with a spring over set up! that is why i wanted to do the switchin! and i to like the look of the black wheels on the red body! the inside isnt perfect but it is 100% rust free!
