If you have that kind of excess cash, I hope you have the vehicle paid off. If not, pay it off first.
When it's paid off... start with a lift and tires, it really brings out the aesthetic of the vehicle. If that isn't your flavor, do what I do: buy hookers and blow.

I was thinking about going with a 3.5" rough country lift and leaving the stock tires until i get front/rear bumpers, exhaust and a few other things.. any thoughts?

Back to the OP; a lift will provide aesthetic and functional advantages, assuming you plan to take your Jeep off of paved roads. In the same breath, the tires provide similar advantages. It's really a matter of your preference and the direction you want to take your vehicle with regards to modifications.
Generally speaking, based on what I have gleaned from this forum, you're probably not going to like the look of stock tires/wheels and that much lift. The lift may make you look like a 7'0" basketball player wearing a size 6 shoe.

If your running the stock Tires and plan to lift 3.5 it may look a bit odd. Heres a pic of mine lifted with stock sport tires and a 4 inch suspension lift

Then deffinately get bigger tires and wider tires for sure.... it makes such a difference in looks. Get a superchip .... Then do the bumpers, exhaust etc
