What else could you do?
You could leave the IFS alone, put on 33x10.50, and spend the SAS money on something that will dramatically increase the capability of the truck, namely lockers, armor, and gears, then learn to drive the IFS to it's limit and THEN decide if you want SAS, longtravel, a buggy, etc.
Why do you want a SAS? What kinds of trails do you do? Is this a trail-only rig, a daily driver, or something in between?
Are you a good welder? Detail oriented?

I'm not a huge fan of the all-pro SAS kit that was put on Tippy right before I bought her. There are better kits out there. (The All pro leaf springs de-arched within months).
But seriously I agree with TC. Get your IFS rock solid and then decide on SAS> How do I know? There is a lot of stuff that he has schooled tippy on with his IFS rig and lockers with full armour.
Sure his truck doesn't look as cool (at first) but you should see peoples faces whjen they see what he can do. They are BLOWN away.
Tippy on the left, TC's rig on the right....

First tip would be to purchase a kit. I recommend a kit from WabFab, a vendor here.
That will help you enormously if you are new to it.
Second would be to look in the Solid Axle Swap section here at YT. There are several very good threads detailing the swap and issues encountered.
Good luck.
