Default lift opinions

ok all so ill be starting a new project . its a 99 with np 231 and chry 8.25 rearend . ive decided to go with a rustys 4.5 lift with the 3in spring pack and 1.5 shackle in the rear ..also jks quicker disconnects . with interco truxus mt 31's and dc-1 wheels . im thinking with this lift i should have good flex and trie options latter on .say up to 33,s . so my questions are hows this setup sound ? and will the 31's look kinda funny with the lift?(ex. too small tires for the lift size?) the kit comes with shims and tc drop . should this be ok ? till i can save more cash for the sye? i might start a build thread idk yet..
thanks all

Well I have 31s and 4.25" lift in the front and 4.75" in the back. I don't think they look too small:

Your 99 has about a 99% chance of getting vibes and I don't recommend that you wait to do an sye. And at 4.5" I think that 33's are the optimal tire, but then you may want to consider a regear.
And definitely do a build thread

31" tires fit perfectly in the fenders of a cherokee so they look good on short and tall lifts. Even 6" and 31"s is pretty decent.
