Default 5"lift on 35's

I've gone through every lift/tire thread I can find, google, everything. I found a pic of the first set up that i was looking for which was 35s with a 3"lift which is what i added to this post, now what i need to see is 35s with a 5"lift.
My 1998 cherokee came with a 3" rough country lift all suspension(coils and leafs not aal or spacers/shackles) I recently trimmed the fenders and added 33x12.5tsls that i got for $200 which looked big at first but now just look like a baby to me. doing my research the next step for me would be 2" shackles and coil spacers and 35s, only because any bigger of a tire and i need to either spend serious money or serious fab work and money to swap the front rear. I've already searched and know that I'll almost deff need an sye, extended brake lines, gears and possibly axel shafts, upgraded steering/brakes, and all other supporting mods. Right now i just want to see the pics of anyone that might have done the same work to their rig a nice 5" lift with 35s.(the only reason i dont just buy some 35's and slap them on is because wheeling yesterday at the dod i had some minor rubbing in the back so I know 35s would be worse and i wasnt doing any crazy flexing.

Once you go over 3" you will also need lower links and maybe uppers as well depending on the length of your coils. One set will need to be adjustable to take care of the change in castor so you won't have death wobble.
