What should i do first? Tires on it are still in great shape...just want more ground clearance. NO skid plates at all. Recommendations and good places to buy either would be greatly appreciated.

Well, skid plates are always good to have, and as far as ground clearance, you won't be able to get bigger than 25" mud tires on a Wolverine without some type of power mod, and even then the stock gearing is just too high. A good smooth skid plate and 24" or 25" agressive mud tires will help overcome lack of ground clearance a little bit. If it was me, i'd get basic power mods adn or skid plate, then worry about tires.
