if you are wanting to drift it lifted, you better get some larger sway bars and offset your wheels out a bit.
but if you want it for drifting, slam that sucker about 3 inches and you will do alot better. the cherokee is a hell of a sleeper for drag racing so i bet it would be the same in a drift competition

drift jeep
my buddies jeeps has 4.5 inches of lift with 33.12.50's and does dough-nuts and powerslides just fine in the dirt snow or mud. havent tried it on the wet road and dont think we will.
my jeep has 6-6.5 inches of lift and no sway bars and it drifts fine in the snow or mud but it does feel really top heavy all the time with no sway bars.

i've got 31 bfg a/t tires and the neighborhood i live in is asphalt...when it rains it is super slick, just slowly starts going sideways, but i dont have a posi or locker in the back, i'm getting one in a few days....i'll probably wipe out first time i try to spin em on the wet road. our roads are so slick when wet that i tried turning a corner doing twenty and didn't go anywhere, i slammed the brakes and pumped them a few times and by the time i stopped i was like half a foot from driving in a ditch i probably couldn't get it.....i was like OMG! haha i'd never drift on concrete, i dont even think i could, i care about my tires tooo much. haha
