Surprised no one has asked what the 3" lift is.
If it has 3" coils and 3" leaf packs this is what I would do:
get some 1.5 coil spacers and extended shackles. That will save you a ton and help the suspension flex better in the rear.
Dodge Dakota brake lines and jeep yj (90s wrangler) are a few inches longer than cherokees and cheap from any parts store.
Long arms : expensive but awsome. If you are looking for bolt on check out "serious off road". He is a vendor on here and has good deals on (radius ) long arms.
Rock krawler makes a great 3 link but it takes fab work/welding to run right. (Frame stiffeners )
Clayton is awsome but expensive
Stay away from rough country iron rock rustys long arms.
ajustable track bar if you don't have one already.
Iron rock double shear track bar is great and not too expensive
Lastly shocks :
once all the suspension is in
un bolt your shocks and measure the length extended and compressed. You can get bar pin eliminators to make the shocks droop some more as long as you have enough up travel.
Hockey pucks mounted inside the coil buckets make great bump stops.
Good luck!!

Have you personal ran them? I have ran his joints on my/L CA's for well over a year and zero problems. In fact have a lot of his stuff well over $3500 worth of his parts and zero problems yet with any of it.
It seems all I ever hear is hearsay with posts like these no real experience and never any photos of anything bad.
As far as lifts to 4 1/2" I did exactly as you said using 1 1/2" spacers and 1 1/2" Boomerang Shackles.

I haven't ran them but I considered there competition 4 link and decided against it based on joints and price with shipping. I got my rock krawler 3 link for about $700 and it's been awesome.
Reviews like this is why I said bad joints

I will say I'm not a fan of Heim joints either. My old rubicon express track bar only lasted a few months before the Heim was junk
