Front Diff- High Pinion Dana 30
Rear Diff- Dana 35 (non c-clip) also very possible you could have dana 44
Transfer Case- np242 or np231, it will say on Tcase
As for lifts, big tires and engines mods,, do a search and you will get lots of results

You will have a d30 in the front and either a d35 or 44 in the rear,if the rear has a rubber fill plug it is a 35,if it is a square metal fill plug it is a 44,8.25s did not come out until 91 with a 27 spline axles and 29 spline in 97.

my 86 d35 had a metal fill plug so you might want to look at the shape of the diff cover. d35 is oval and a d44 will be more hexagonal and taller. should be a tag on that as well. think d44s only came with some of the cherokees with towing package, so if you don't have a towing package (probably don't with a 5spd) then you won't have it.
