Some came with 4 speaker systems and others came with 6, depending on your trim level. I recommend getting a manual on your jeep.

well from what i know rough country is cheap and works great $655.95 with leaf pack, but i am planning on getting a rubicon express 4.5lift superflex kit with leaf pack not add a leaf $1,049.99 better quality. when you get a lift make sure that its not add a leaf, add a leaf system will cause your backend to sag after like a few months, leaf packs wont let your back end sag.

You dont need rubi express RC is a good kit just make sure you do your research before. I would stay at 3" so you dont have to deal with the SYE or anything.

IMHO the first thing you should do is address any maintenance issues. Second, fix any obvious problems. Third, wheel it and see how capable it is. If you find something that doesn't fit how you drive it, that goes on the top of your "mods" list.

If I put my 3" lift on 2" shackles and coil spacers, do I need a SYE kit or will the transfer case drop I put on be okay?

Default radio...

if you've got the time check the ground for your radio - a bad ground will cause speakers to pop and radio to "malfunction"
