what do i need for a 6.5 inch lift
looking at lifting a 1997-2001 cherokee 6.5 going to go with the rough country had a 4.5 rought country on my last cherokee, so i need the lift obviously. do i need to do anything to the front drive line? will i need a sye? if so what one? any change to the rear drive line? and can i just use the break line relocation or do i need to extend the break lines? if i am missing anything let me know. also what want to run 33 x 12.50 what backspacing would i want on the rims?

Going up that height you'll hopefully run 35s+ so I'd say re gearing should be expected, and if you regear you may as well look around for a more affordable stronger axle(f8.8/d44/etc) Same thing with steering, you'll want to get a stronger setup before you taco the stock one.
