Default 3" spacer lift

Ok I'm looking at rustys 3" spacer body lift. Wondering how the back spacers go on or if it's only for the front?
This is the pic it's showing me. Doubt it comes with this much spacers?

No it lifts the body from the frame. And you don't have a frame.

Cherokee were made as a Unibody, meaning that the body and frame where one. In an accedent it is stronger and more light weight. The 2 can NOT be seperated thus they cant be spaced appart. Look up unibody and you can understand it a little better than ive explained
You see in those overhaulin shows where the frame and body sit in 2 sererate pieces, we can not do that. A cheap way to go is get a budget bost with coil spacers and shackles.

Don't plan on getting 3 inches for $200 unless you piece the lift together yourself.. I would google Rough Country Jeep Cherokee, I think the 3.5 incher I'm looking at is like $350...

Also I would google a Transfer Case drop.

Why do you need a leveling kit?

I think you need some education.
