When I actually have some $$ to mod "Blue Meanie" I am looking at this lift.

The front end is a little tweaked, My dad, who inherited the 99 Cherokee Sport from bent the front bumper several places, but the most severe problem is the left front frame member that the front bumper bolts to is bent. I am thinking that is why the left front tire is wearing poorly and the steering wheel won't return to center after a hard turn in a hard left turn. Upper and lower adjustable control arms, steering stabilzer and alignment will "straighten out" any tire wear problems.

Blah. I was slow on that one. I was thinking raised white letters lol. Mine don't have white walls. I doubt you'll be able to find a full white wall AT tire.
You could buy a bunch of these:

And make your own.

Okay so i am going to be lifting a Cherokee at some point in time and i need to know what all i need for a 4.5" lift other than the actual lift components. Don't want to cheap out on anything but am looking to save money where money can be saved. Need suggestions on brands and what size tires to run and so forth? I want to do this properly and not half a**ed. I am looking into the rough country 4.5" short arm kit but what else do i need? Different drive shaft... etc? And how much will this roughly cost me in the end?
Thanks in advance,
CW

ok, so there are a lot of pages to sift through, not enough time. i have a 1993 cherokee. i am looking to do a budget lift. i found some 3" poly coils spacers on ebay for $40. and i am doing bastard packs in the rear because i have cracked leaves. my big questions are:
1.) what kind of length and travel do i need for shocks.
2.) if i have stock track bar/control arms/etc. can i run this lift of should i shoot for a two inch? i need cheap as possible,(not to be that guy, but im broke) i just really want to get my jeep up in the air a bit, but i dont have the time or space to re-do the suspension geometry. if this combination isnt so good, can anyone recommend a good smaller budget lift for as cheap as possible?
thanks

Just to make some contributions.. One of my friend's 98. 100% stock suspension with cut fenders on 31s. Also some suppy saggy leafs that need to be replaced.
And one of my other friend's 91. 3.5" lift with cut fenders on 33x12.5s with super wide wheels
my 99 on 3.5" lift with 31s, and where it will sit on 35s with 5" of lift (fenders will be cut)
