stiffer springs, lowered springs, new bushings, fat tires, properly adjusted caster/camber, and good weight distribution

aftermarket rear control arms , panhard bar , springs(maybe with matched shocks struts), solid rack bushings and better end links,solid steering shaft , better front lower control arm bushings, sub frame connectors, strut tower brace , k member braces are cool too, and some caster camber plates to take advantage and correct your align ment once it is lowered. not in any order or nor do u have to get them all. and dont get the heaviest springs you can find , cuz then your shocks may not be able to dampen them correctly.

What type of handling do you want, track, street, drag. It all kinda depends. you can always start with new springs and strut combo.
