Lift Suggestions
I have a 96' Cherokee Sport 2 door 4x4 4.0L. I purchased BFG T/A KO's (235/75R15LT) and OP 15" wheels for her awhile ago and have been getting some rubbing here and there under load or full turn. I am wondering what lift kit you'd recommend to stop the rub and give me solid performance to cost. Really appreciate the forum and how helpful you are

Only thing I know for sure is I would need to relocate (possibly extend) brake lines. Other stuff I need to adjust/mod...? My mechanical skills are somewhat aboveu average but still novice in my opinion. Any and all pointers much appreciated!

I was gonna say something, but mine will probably look worse when I cut them. My flares and gas skid will be my angle grinder learning curve.
