tow points and straps. then probably work on putting a aussie in the back and a cb radio in the jeep, unless you have the coin for more lift.

i like my rough country lift, quality is as good as rubicon express and at about half the cost.

Nice! I would say a little more ground clearance should come first. You could just add to your existing lift a little at a time. I'm assuming you have 2" spacers and shackles now. Get a 3" Spring/LCA/AAL kit to give you a pretty easy and cheap 5". You will also need Adj Track Bar and shock/break line extenders (and I'm sure something else I'm forgetting).

Great start though!
