I am starting a build on my 1990 jeep cherokee limited. I got this bad boy for $950 bucks and i'll probably double that in parts. It is an addiction, akin to crack cocaine. Here's a few things i have gotten done so far. and it is a budget build for now.
general maintenance, alternator, power steering, valve cover gasket
3" rough country lift with add a leaf.
I plan on getting 31x10.5 mudclaw tires with 15x8 rims.

And a before and after the lift. It's amazing what new springs will do for a 20 year old jeep! I have some vibrations coming from one of the drive shafts. I also had to rebuild the front one. I hate needle bearings.... one hour, an *** ton of grease and a few beers is what put it back together. Im going to take the front one off and see if the noise goes away. I shimmed out the transfer case, but i dont like the way it sits. Ill just cough up the cash for a sye and a driveshaft. Or should i say, an after then before.

Sorry stretch, I just got your post. No, they were easy. One of the holes already existed. They bolted right in. They were 20 bucks from Walmart. It came with everything you need.
