I am starting to save again for my jeep that I had to put on hold for a while and I need a little help with what I should go ahead and buy next. First off my jeep is a DD but I'll be hitting the trails this summer so one thing will be a spare tire and rim. As for the rest of the stuff idk which order would be best.
Tire carrier
Adj front control arms
New springs. My front bumper is the heavy ass eBay one that is making my 2.5 teraflex coils sag. Thought about some 3.5 in coils but idk if it would look stupid and that would also mean more suspension upgrades. So I thought maybe some RK or MC 2.5 coils.
Trek armor seat covers (I have kids)
New steering stabelizer or drag link kit to help with the little bit of. Bump steer I have.
I'll be deciding on some new stickers today to help break up the black.
This is just some of the stuff I've thought about. Here's a couple pics of my jeep. I'm open to some input.

If you own money, I would recommend you pay off debt with any extra saving you have lying around. Otherwise if you are not having any problems with the Jeep why throw money at it?

Thank you for the financial advice. However, I'm saving specifically for the jeep. If I had debts to pay off I would. I put the jeep on hold due to having kids and not having the time to wheel. Anyways the problems I'm having is the sagging coils considering the lift only has 15k miles on it, along with the bit of bump steer I've got.

I am surprised you would have bump steer on sagging 2.5" coils. Moving up to 3.5" would only make the bump steer worse and I would recommend a drag link flip with a raised axle track bar bracket. Only do this with 3.5"+ of lift as it will reduce your available up travel.
A set of adjustable lower control arms or drop brackets will allow you to adjust the caster a bit and mb improve the steering feel. Choosing between the two will dictate which one would be better for you.

Ya I know that I realized I kinda worded that wrong when I put the drag link kit in the list. The only reason I put the SS in there is because I figured if I did the drag link stuff I might as well get a new SS since they're cheap

The factory ss is more then sufficient for the jeep and replacing a good ome with an aftermarket is just throwing away money.
