Budget lift questions
 
I have a 95' cherokee sport. I want to lift it a good 3 or 4 inchs but dont really want to spend to much but i also dont want to buy crappy parts. Ive been looking at add-a-leaf lift kits but i dont really know to much about lift kits. Any advice? Thanks

Search "Bastard packs"

that along with rusty's 3" coils and JK shocks will get 3-4" for around $200

Yea, save up for a good kit tha comes with full leaf packs. Look into Rubicon Express, BDS, or....I Know....Rustys.

If you're on a tight budget you can look here for ideas. I'm with Diesel though, save up for a quality kit.

I'm very happy with my self made lift, Its cheap and rides great. Ive driven about 3K miles on it and wheeled a few times. The only thing needed to really make it a really nice ride is control arms and a track bar, which triples the cost of it but not really needed at 3"

You can use S10 leaf springs (bastard pack) JK rubicon struts and thunderbird springs. It'll run you about $300 and you can get a total of about 4" of lift but you'll prolly run into drive line angle problems.

this will help the track bar prob

Does that move the track bar to the top side? I'm already set one IRO double shear track bar once i raise it 1 more inch and trade for some control arms

it set it over closer to the drivers side centering the front axle more

ah yes and lowers the track bar to stand a better chance of getting hitting by stuff.
