If budget is an issue...hard to believe it is with the list of things you just bought...I'd cancel the Big brake kit and get the Hydro assist as others have said. Just don't tailgate and you'll be fine.

I had never heard of a system to reinforce a sector shaft..wish I had!!
For everybody's information if you have a JK built after 2009 there is a strong chance that your steering box is NOT REBUILDABLE!! Even if you have a 07-09 the cost to fix a broken Sector Shaft is $200+ and you have to send them your box so your Jeep is DOWN.
If you break your sector shaft you are in for a entire new box if you are built after 2009!!!
NONE of the dealers stock a box, none of the parts stores even show one in their catalog (except for AutoZone but when you go to order it the message you get is "NOT AVAILABLE"
So the moral of the story is at a minimum do some research of Sector Shaft reinforcement systems that are out there (About $200 in parts) if you own a JK of any year.
Please learn from my mistake. I am having to buy a new steering box from PSC at a cost of over $700 bucks. Thank god for Andrew at Letzroll for loaning me a box to use the next week while I wait for parts.

We'll thanks for the replies regarding the s.s... I'm am very aware of my steering needs but thanks for the input, would like to have the build done in one sitting but that's not reality for most of us.

I picked up a remanufactured 08 box on summit racing for $200ish. Use the part number on Autozone's site and cross reference it with a simple google search. Thats how I came across mine.
Edit: Heres a 4 door box for $228
