ok well i decided that i had a few extra dollars and want to see what you guys would recommend to do with it....need to say under $150.00......right now the jeep is stock as could be. I already have a 2.5 kit waiting to be put on.... Things i was thinking on getting ::
skids...
discos or save for currie anti-rock...
save for locker...
or anything else you guys would recommend...
Skid plates 
Learn to drive it stock then lift it.
warn engine skid. $147.95
front diff. skid, engine skid
I'm a SkidRow guy, but metal is metal. Get the skid.
The rock-it kit I got has worked out well. Its 2 diff sliders and an oil pan skid. Its not as good as a whole engine skid, but the oil pan skid has worked well so far.
Its a debate also whether or not to go with a steering skid. I did, just so I didn't have to worry about it. The future I plan on a radiator skid for the same reason, just so I don't have to worry. Also, from what I've seen the stock gas tank skid is kinda weak.
Kilby or Skid row seem to be what a lot of people use and recommend.
...in the future i do plan on going belly up as well
No, no, no... in the future you plan on "DOING a belly-up".
Completely different meaning there buddy.
true......your right though i dont think going belly up would be good however doing a belly up would be 
I recomend getting some LCA skids..... mikegreen4x4.com can help with that. Just need the front ones.
Then also the skid row engine skid, a diff skid, maybe even an upgraded tie rod.
#1 priority should be an oil pan skid..... Avoid the rockit one like the plague as it glues on 
If you have cash left over step 2 is an upgraded tie-rod and disconnects....
Skid-row or nth degree makes a good skid plate, the warn's downfall is it is only 1/8" plate but it is better than nothing ....as far as tie-rods, the steel one from full circle is fine, just like the big-daddy.. I tend to stay away from aluminum stuff as I have seen too many crack or just not bend back like they are supposed to...
With a tummy tuck you need to do a 1 1/4" bl and possibly a mml. I am not sure but I remember there being a discussion on the tummy tuck thing and being able to still run an engine skid. Skid rows seem to work great. Diff skids are important, especially in the front. I would get the weld-on lcas and save money. Aslo with a tummy tuck and 2.5" lift, a sye/cv will most liekly be needed.
Well it seems your a little bit over $150. But if you want I have a Tie rod here that I bought from Black Rubi for $100 and I never used it. I ended up buying a used Curry set up from Ian.
I'll let it go for $80 if you want it.
Let me know
i know i went over budget but it'll be ok i was able to score up some side jobs to help with financing. As far as the tie tod i think that i might wait on that till after the skids. 
oh and concerning the body lift it should arrive on thursday if he ships it today but i'm gonna wait till i have everything together to put it on and just wrech on everything at one time.
Weld in LCA skids are better, but I'm still gonna go with a bolt on for mine. I'm actaully looking at the skid row that is two pieces that protect where the lca connects. It should give me enough protection for the trails I'm running.
