Default Lockers,t-case or control arms

Help me spend my money!
I have an 09 jku X with 3.5" aev lift on 35s and 4.88 Yukon gears...

I can pick up a used rubicon transfer case with 55,000 km for 1,000

Or I can spend the money to get lockers

Or I can spend the money to get adjustable control arms that didnt come with my kit

What would you guys spend the money on?

I'd go with control arms. Unless you're happy with the way it rides then I'd do lockers. For me, a new T-case wouldn't be worth it but in the end its your decision. I'd suggest lockers or control arms though.

Depends...are you more on road or off road?

On road I would do control arms.

Off road would do the lockers.

That's a lot more then I would pay for that t-case. If I put lockers in I would wait till you can do it all. Lockers, gears, stronger axles, etc....a good set of control arms can do a lot for ride off and on road, with being able to fine tune angles in your drive train.

I just upgraded my gears less than a month ago to 4.88

I haven't hit an obstacle yet where I needed lockers so your advice is pretty sound. Maybe control arms seems the way to spend my money
