I'd be going tyres first, then lift, locker. Then everything else.

Even if u lift ur car more it's only really going to be a virtual lift. Still get hung up on the pumpkins! I'd look on more protection work, bar work etc. keep weight low as possible.

mate, no one can tell you what mod is better to do over another. your the only one who drives your rig over whatever terrain you choose to drive... if you feel it needs lift, get a lift kit. if you feel it needs more grunt, drop a 1.6 in it if you feel it needs bigger rubber... get some bigger rubber... Please... think about it for yourself rather than starting world war 3 on here over what to get first... only you truly know what your vehicle needs

drive it for a while and find what it's limitations are for the terrain you drive. then spend the money improving whatever it is..

Virtual lift is a different thing, strange name but it has nothing to do with lifting the car. Virtual lift is when guards are chopped away under the flares to allow the body to remain at a standard height off the chassis, this assists with stability and low centre of gravity. The bigger wheels can articulate up into the now bigger wheel arches without fouling on the body, so virtual lift is really a better way of achieving what a body lift does. A bit like tubbing on a drg car to get that big rubber under the car.
