I paid top dollar for mine too, about $6000 when I finally came across it. Mine had one owner and now I'm the second.
I like your Cherokee man; makes me want to have mine re-painted lol. You can see what I'm talking about:

Do your tires rub anywhere? I paid 6800 guy wouldn't budge I think he paid 6000 then did lift tires wheels and rack. I looked at others but the were all cut up or rusted or severe leaks. Mine does leak a little rear main seal thats on my list after a while I make sure i park in same spot on driveway all the time

Yeah they rub a little bit, I have plans to try and modify my stock fender flares so I can keep the 'stock look' while having the aggressive look of the lift. The rubbing is only on the front when you steer, so I should be able to clip the fenders like this:

Blue, gray, and black hold my favorite colors. A friend of mine just bought a white one that is the same year as mine. Two of my friends have red ones and one has a black one. The red sure are popular!

Your builds off to a good start. I've got a 2000 same color! 33 shouldn't rub body at 6.5" but you would want to hammer over the pinch seam in the front fender/ firewall and maybe trim the front bumper which may rub when turning/ flexing.

If you want a cheap sound system, I went with a Klipsch Promedia computer speaker set (subwoofer included) and I hooked it up with a power inverter. You're under $200 with that setup and it sounds nice.

Yeah I'm still paying off my lift kit parts, myself. Stuck for a little while. My next purchase is the Rough Country front bumper with the stinger bar and a winch on that.
