Personally I'd take the spacers out of the front, level it out and call it good. I think 4.5 inches of lift is all you need on a Cherokee personally and it handles just fine off and on road.
Pull the spacers out. Then when you get the fundage you can pick-up your preferred method of lift for the back end and install both at the same time. Lowering it just doesn't sound right though, LOL. Call it leveling instead.

I agree with everyone else here- 4.5" is pretty much the perfect height, high enough for GOOD clearance, but low enough to still have a reasonable center of gravity, any higher and it's easier for the rocks to tip you over.
