Default Upgrade suggestions

So I have been stationed in Saudi Arabia for the last few months and will be coming back with a fair amount of money available for truck maintenance and upgrades. I have to replace brakes and rotors so while I am at it I am doing the Centric two piece front hub upgrade to my RWD. I am also planning on replacing my leaking rear diff cover with a Mag-Hytec cover and possibly the transmission pan as well. I was thinking about replacing my current clutch fan with an electric fan and adding a custom tune. does anyone have other suggestions for upgrading my truck?

any suggestions drivetrain/suspension wise? I was already planning on adding a couple of ridgid LED lights to the front to act as driving lights.

Transmission cooler, one-piece driveshaft if you don't already have one, replace all U-joints... and Rancho QuickLifts seem to have a good name around here. That's what I want.
