Default 3 inch lift recomindations

Im new to the Jeep world and im wanting to lift my jeep. its a 2001 cherokee sport, but heres the kicker, is only 4x2. I only want to use it for muddin and some small off roading. Im going to buy 31inch mud terain tires to help. Sence it is my first car i would like to keep the budget low but still want somthing thats not the worst in the world. Any help would be apreciated.

Rough Country is pretty cheap. If you want the lift to last, get full rear leaf springs and not Add-A-Leaf. More expensive but worth it.

A 3 inch lift should fit 31's pretty well.

RC is probably the best bang for the buck!

I've got a 3" spacer lift with AAL's on my 4X2, only because i bought it that way... I will be installing a RE 3.5" Super-Flex kit when i do my 4WD Conversion!

Do yourself a favor and invest in coils and new leaf springs, it's well worth it!!!

RC is your best low cost option, but you'll feel it in the ride as a DD. Rusty's makes a good 3" that doesn't hurt ride quality too much. One of these two would be your best choice IMO. Either way, make sure to get the full spring pack for the leafs, new coils, and shocks. RC and Rusty's make shocks for their lifts but do yourself a favor and go with Rancho5000's. You'll pay a little more, but it's worth it. If you can't afford the 5000's, the shocks that come with the lift will still work well.
