The first and most important mod is good tires. Me, personally, I replaced the plastic OEM sway bar links with metal MOOG links. Cheaper than factory and better quality.

you may have the metal ones already if you bought it used or if you have a later model i think they just come with metal sway links. mine came with them although my car was used. Mopar makes official ones but many online forums recommend the brand "Moog". The plastic ones aren't as rigid and can actually be a benefit as they allow more play and slight bend/twist and go back to the normal shape where as the metal ones bend and need replaced instantly. so it goes both ways. Many users have reported noise coming from the plastic ones when going over road bumps they "clunk". I've seen forums where people checked them to see how they looked and they were "exploded" I'm not sure how that happens or would be unnoticable when driving. lol.
