Honestly you need to be more specific in what you are wanting, otherwise you will get pointless responses that do nothing to help.

This is how I'd hook up a 2WD Cherokee, if I had one. But I'm no off road'r. This does 9.18 in the 1/4! And it's street legal. World's Quickest Cherokee!

3" lift and 31" tires for a pre-runner stance. New springs in the front and leaf springs in the rear. Stay away from spacers, blocks, and shackles because they change the suspension's lever-points. You want to keep the stability for high-speed offroad.

You will get good suspension travel (not "crawler" travel, but that's not what you're after), good ride, and good high-speed stability.

I built a pre-runner Toyota a few years ago that used to get play in the desert in West Texas.

I would have to use Google.

I was never into the pre-runner accessories, just the ride.
