got some money now what to get!

well came up on a good 700 bucks today. sold my old vw bug. now my questions. are wheel spacers worth getting on a very mild off road 4runner? mine has a 3 inch lift, 31s. and thats about it. i am lookin to upgrade it a little bit. i have stock steering. does the drop drag link from pro comp really make a good difference in turning and flex? you guys got any opinions on what i should invest in? i can wrench pretty well. i live near pismo dunes and i go there kinda often on camping trips. and i like hitting mud a good amount. lemme hear some opinions please! get back to me!

i would only get spacers if it rub but with 31 u wont rub and hmm if 700 is your budget id make sure its runnin good a good tune up u could get a locker but it would only be worth it if u put it in your self. is it a suspention or body lift i personally hate body lifts and they look ugly maybe some 33s off craigslist

Chevy 63's, rear up front, an ifs box and high steer. Could probably get all of that for under 700 and still have money left for the beer to drink while doing the install.
Stay away from anything procomp if you actually wheel your truck and don't just go hang out at the mall.

if you don't do Scuba's route I would get some sliders and an Aussie locker..
if you can turn a wrench left & right you can install the Aussie yourself...
