What ya think?

Winch- Warn 8000lb

or

SYE and driveshaft $500

1.SYE
2.Gears & lockers at the same time,its much cheaper

Gears and lockers, if you can only afford one, then with 33's I would get gears.

In order of importance...
1. SYE and CV driveshaft.
2. Lift...and not a cheap one either...your kidneys will hate you otherwise.
3. Gears and lockers to match the new tires that will fit the lift (31"-32 will need either 3.73 or 4.10 gears)
4. Front ARB, rear swing out (Larger tires do not fit well inside)
5. You don't need a winch if you have good tires, lockers and lift...unless you are looking for Bling value or like to get stuck.

I vote on Sye and DS. Then if ya can, rear springs. Then after ya get some more cash, lockers and gears. I don't have a winch yet, but I would think if your gonna wheel, you would want one someday.

1.SYE and DS
2.Leaf replacement
3.Rear bumper

That's the order I've gone, and the gears and locking will be left to axles that are actually worth the money invested. I've got a lock-rite in mine which cost me $150, so it wasn't too bad.

You don't need an SYE until you get a bigger lift.
Spend your money on Gears and lockers.
If you get luch box lockers you can install them your self after the gears are installed.
Then get a full leaf pack and relook your priorities. I wasted alot of money on whinches, bumpers, Tire carriers, intake and exhaust before getting gears. The gearing was the best mod ever, The 33's work so much better when you have power to clear them.

how much cheaper?

Lockers for sure (gears at same time would be optimal)
Adding lockers is like going from two wheel drive to a true four wheel drive.

I couldn't agree more. Lockers make a world of difference. If you're running factory gearing do that at the same time. If you're not planning on re-gearing, at least for awhile, and funds are tight then look into a lunchbox locker.

Just my opinion,
