What next?

I have a 96 Cherokee. 4.5 inch RC lift with 33 inch Dick Cepek Extreme Country tires. I’ve been wheelin for some time now and I’m ready to start upgrading. What would be the best next step? Rear locker? I have a Chryco 8.25 in the rear and D30 up front. Just not sure what to do next with so many options out there. I’ve seen kits with chromoly axle shafts with lockers. Thinking about buying a kit. But again not sure where to go from here or what the smartest move is. I want to start rock crawling. Just want to make sure I get the right gear to avoid any issues.

Ditch the crappy rc, short arm setup and get long arms. To play in the rocks you need armor. Bumpers, skid plates, frame stiffeners, quarter panels, diff protection
