6.5 inch lift sitting on 35s
I'm wanting to lift my stock 99 cherokee classic (inline 6 4.0 manual tranny) 6.5 inches and throw some 35 inch all terrains on it.
Will I need to upgrade my gears to a larger ratio, buy a slip yoke eliminator, transfer case drop kit, and extended brake lines for it to function properly as an everyday driver with the occassional offroading?

What he said. If it's the stick it has 3.07 gears which would be horrible with 35's, even on the street. I put 33's on mine with 3.07's before I regeared it and I could barely get going up a hill that was pretty steep. I now have 4.56's with the 33's and it spins pretty good on the freeway but it's great off-road.

Its best not to cut corners. And dont listen to anyone telling you to daily drive on a smaller tire than you want.
You wamna daily drive on 35s, do it.

By all means you can DD on a 35 but if it your only vehicle itd be ideal to not go higher than 33s but i agree you can do whatever you wish

To do 6.5" of lift you will need quite a bit of other things. The brake lines need to be addressed a TC drop will not work with that much work nor is it advisable. 35's are also going to be hell on the stock axle's I would not recommend running a D35 with 35's. Gears wise 4.56-4.88's would be a good place to start.

true, very few, i believe it was 94-95 or 95-96 i believe they came with. but like you said short short lived which really sucks. cause nothing would be more fun then a grand cherokee with a 6speed behind the i6 hahaha
