As for how it'll look, measure to the flair lip as it sits now with the 3inch lift on it and then put a jack under it and lift it up about 1.5 inches (lift it by the frame rails). There should be enough suspension travel for you to show the extra lift without the tires leaving the ground... 2 jacks (1 front and 1 back) lifting one side this way will give you a good idea of how it's going to look

it just moves the front tire over about 1 inch, 1.5 inches to the drivers side.

Actually, i meant that if i do the front of the lift (3.5 coils and 1 inch spacer), without the adjust TRAC BAR, and take the 10 min (2-3) mile drive to the spring shop to have them do the rear, will i see catastrophy??? Its a fairly straight shot with two left turns!

sorry, didnt under stand what you asked. no, i dont think you should. mine did not have any problems that i know of. some people i have heard have had problems with it tracking strait. but like moth things, every cherokee is different. but overall, you should not have any problems.
