Default Looking for some opinions/help me spend my money!

So my Jeep is getting some money thrown it's way over the next few weeks but I am torn in which direction to go. I have *****ed about the front suspension in the past and that is one of my top priorities, but so is getting a rear locker before winter and here is my chance since I have the extra money. I listed a three options in which way to spend my money, so help me out

Option 1:
-go all out on the front suspension and order the Iron Rock Offroad Long Arm suspension upgrade kit which would run me $599.99 since they have free shipping right now.

Option 2:

-fix the front suspension with adjustable upper/lower short arm control arms and buy an Aussie locker. This choice would be roughly the same amount of cash, coming in around $640.00

Option 3:
-say screw the front suspension and deal with the creeks and random noises and get a front and rear locker. Which would run around $570.00

Well all good ideas, but I am leaning towards the LA upgrade...only b/c I want LAs for multiple reason including improved ride since it is my daily driver. The rear locker is going to follow sometime before winter I hope.
