Default What next?

On my 98 limited 4.0L I just put a 4.5 inch rough country full leaf pack on 31's. I ordered an HD steering stabilizer and crown brake lines. Also I plan on getting an adjustable trac bar in a couple months. What else should I worry about now to make sure it's ready to go offroad?

Also, it's probably worth mentioning that it's my DD. And as far as lockers go what's the price difference between an air one and a standard locker?

I just put Spartan lockers front & rear in my daily. They're somewhat noisy but I can deal with it.

I was thinking of the arb air lockers on a switch which look cool, but pretty damn pricey. And what kind of noise is it? Is it the dire shaft binding up from being locked on pavement? Also what about limited slip?

The next thing I would invest in is recovery equipment, spare parts, tools, and knowledge of how to use all of them. I cant tell you how many people I go off roading with and all they have is one tow strap. When their Jeep breaks down they are lucky I carry a rolling garage. You can have a ton of fancy things on your Jeep, but without the things listed above, you can be stranded with no options.
