Default what to do now?

well i just got 2000 cherokee. it seems pretty much all stock. except for i think it has a rear locker did some of them come with lockers? also what exactly does the high idle button do? what is it for?

and what are some of the weak spots on this year? what would be some good upgrades to start with? i want to try and do a custom lift on it, is there any stock springs from another vehicle that will raise it up? i would like to get 5-6 inches of lift and put 33s under it. any help is appreciated, thanks

f-150 springs off an older model will get you about 4'' cause they are so stiff, and then do a bastard pack for the rear. i think yours has the LP (low pinion) front D30 axle...not as good as the HP (high pinion) which was put in up to 1999 model
