Don't use blocks. Cherokee's get bad axle wrap with blocks. You don't need the pitman arm either, you'll be better off with an adjustable track bar. You might be able to get away without an SYE, but you'll likely have to shim your rear axle. As stated shocks and longer brake lines will be needed as well.

Here's a good CA chart to determine lift. http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/..._Arm_Chart.htm
