drive line and suspension help
i have a 2001 cherokee sport with a 3' lift and i am experiencing an abnormal 'squat' down when i come to a stop. the whole rear end seems to sit down more than it should and then when i accelerate from a stop there seems to be play kind of like the play i had when my front axle u-joints went bad any suggestions?

Honest opinion would be to buy a set of 3" full leaf packs for it.

Only time I've had squat like you mention:
1) lift block in rear with old worn out leaf springs
2) bad master cylinder that is only feeding pressure to the rear axle

If it's as bad as he says, just have someone else power brake it on concrete or good asphalt, and you stand off to the side and watch...it'll be pretty obvious what's going on.
