[QUOTE="JerryD, post: 440590, member: 17662"] You don't say if you have the D30 axle up front. If you do, upgraded ball joints are good plan but with 33 inch tires may not be needed. Still, my opinion is that after market ball joints are the way to go. Be sure to inspect the radiator for almost undetectable leaks at the plastic tanks. No real good upgrades here unless you're willing to spend a grand for for a radiator. If it's an automatic, make sure it has a good transmission cooler. The only other must have thing in my mind, would be to upgrade the horrible stock headlights. You'll get plenty of opinions on this one, and if you search the resources you'll see a pretty good article on upgrading headlights. And two of my previous JK's I went with Cibies housings & Osram bulbs... HUGE improvement. My current JK has JW speaker LEDs which are great. After that it's really up to you and how many pockets.you want to empty. :) One more thing, get a good OBD2 dongle and something like jScan for your phone. It will help so so much! [/QUOTE]
