Welcome in!
1) remove the brush guard. We call those "Damage Multipliers" for a reason
2) Resonator delete on the intake. Makes it sound better and some people think you get a few ponys for it.
3) Remove the rear sway bar. Might not be an issue for you, but it can destroy the right rear shock if you're a little crazy with the off ramps, or even slightly aggressive off road.
4) Lift is good. 2" Body can be had for about $100 if you shop around. 1.5" suspension is just new shackles and cranking on the torsion bars
Beyond that, drive it, see what it can do and then mod it to make it do what it can't. This isn't a Jeep, so it's mostly about what _you_ want it to do.
