Upcountry didn't come out til after I was gone at the end of 1992. So, trust whoever has actually installed the size tires you want to put on your year Cherokee.

I think Rubicon was gas shocks.
The Cherokees varied a little in height but nowhere near 1" back then. The most notable thing was that the Limiteds were a skosh lower and had soft springs.

OP the best way to tell what you can fit, regardless of what your jeep came with suspension wise (because hey...things sag over time - spings, rope, *****, etc) is to measure.
As described in the factory service manual:
Quote:
Checking Front Ride Height
Measure front ride height with the vehicle unloaded (no luggage or passengers) and with the fuel tank full.
Place the vehicle on a level surface and measure the veryical distance between the top of the axle tube (A) and the underside of the frame sill (B). Refer to Figure 1 for driver's side measurement and Figure 2 for passenger side measurement. Be sure each measurement is taken from the top of the tube and not from the axle or shift motor housings.
With Standard or Soft Ride Suspension, vertical distance should be 17 cm (6-3/4 inches) plus or minus 13 mm (1/2 inch). With Heavy Duty Suspension, vertical distance should be 20 cm (7-3/4 inches) plus or minus 13 mm (1/2 inch).
Checking Rear Ride Height
Measure rear ride height with the vehicle unloaded (no luggage or passengers) and with the fuel tank full.
Place the vehicle on a level surface and measure the vertical distance between the top of the axle tube (C) and the underside of the frame sill (D) inboard of the jounce bumper (E).
With Standard or Soft Ride Suspension, vertical distance should be 15 cm (6 inches) plus or minus 13 mm (1/2 inch). With Heavy Duty Suspension, vertical distance should be 18 cm (7 inches) plus or minus 13 mm (1/2 inch).
