Default new to the grand but not to cherokees

today i got a 1996 grand limited,the only mod ive found is a k&n intake, and its fully loaded. my last vehicle was a 2000 2wd xj but it died so im a jeep guy but im not that knowledgeable about the zj. it has a few problems like it comes up with a bad coolant sensor warning (sometimes) and a rear lamp failure warning (the brake lights all work) and i tried the key trick to get the codes but it didnt work, any ideas on that?
im looking into getting a budget lift and it is looking like im going to get some pucks, would the fat bobs ones off of ebay be ok? they are only like $60 for the 2 in ones (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_3208wt_1191) and it says that i wouldnt need anything else but an alignment, true? and would the 225's be ok looking until i needed new tires (these are brand new with only like 200 miles on it)
also are there any free things that i could do to help it out? like on my xj i took off the rear sway bar, that kinda stuff.


Thanks!

I would recommend shocks even at 2",i also would NOT remove the swaybars on a ZJ if you drive on the highway.
