how should i spend my money!?

Ok so i'm stuck as to what to do next to the heep. if you read the profile it's got 4" of lift, swing out tire carrier, rocker guards, front bumper + winch, all the fog lights it needs, hi lift, good tread on the 33's, a cb, and no mechanical issues. so i have about 250 bucks to spend on it. what should i do? some things i'm throwing around are:

aussie for the d30 up front
new shocks (2 are blown)
boomerang shackles (already have 1inch shackles though)
2" body lift (dont' really want to mess with the body mounts, half are prolly seized and don't want to cut through the tub)
herculine the tub

i've been 10 minutes away from getting the aussie for the last week, so give me your ideas, feel free to go off the list.

The aussie would be a nice addition to your jeep.

BUT with $250 you can do this:
Boom shackles from me for $40.00
Herc the tub for $36 (YES I SAD $36, it is on sale with rebate at napa until dec 24th, the full kit for $36)
New shocks $100
Buy a forum membership for $29.95
And you still have $40 after all that....

good list rusty, that $36 herc is looking irresistible. does that 40 bucks a pair for shackles come with greasable bolts?

A locker is an unmatchable modification in terms of actual capability of your jeep.

1 - Don't worry about the shocks right now. You don't need them to wheel.
2 - Herc the tub for $36
3 - Buy a forum membership for $30
4 - Take the needed $66 out of your next paycheck, add it to what you have left and get the Aussie!
