Hello all, I am a newbie here but I got shot rear leafs and looking for an affordable 3 in lift. I've heard that the add-a leaf kits wont do much cause of the bad rear springs, so what would be the best course of action?

any lift with full leaf packs.... rough country is probably the best bang for your buck when you're on a budget.

go get some s-10 leafs, take apart your leaf pack leaving the main leaf attached to your jeep, and insert the whole s-10 pack minus the main one under your cherokee leaf and put back together.
i've done this on a buddy's jeep and it got him between 2.5 and 3 inches. and his leafs were sagging by 2 inches. then just add 2 inch spacers to the front coils and you're golden.

you'll need to get a new spring wraps, center pin and u bolts tho.
