Default Suspension Lift

I have a 96 grand Cherokee AWD and I want to fit 35s how much of a lift would I need? Also will I need to change out the gears? I don't offroad a lot but I would like something reliable. Any brands that are considered to be the best?

Well depends on how much money u wanna spend
U could do a 6.5" long arm kit and that would fit 35"s and flex a lot
Or u could do a 4" with a coil spacer and some trimming
Being that ur not gonna off-road it I would do that
I've got mine with a Rough Country 4" lift on 33"s

Yes you should regear. Doing so will help maintain stock performance and fuel economy.

As far as lift kits are concerned:

Say I wanted to just go with 33s. How much of a suspension lift should I go with? Is a rehear necessary with the change for 30s to 33s if im not going to do much offroading? I'll mainly be in sand and mud no climbing

Regearing is always advisable.

3.5" would do nicely.
