Default How high can i go without needing alot of extra parts?

I just got a 99 Cherokee classic with a 3.5 inch skyjacker lift. I've had people ask me if I have the long arm kit but I'm not sure how to tell. Also I want to lift it a bit higher but I'm not sure if putting coil spacers and blocks will cause me to need a slip yoke eliminator and such. Suggestions?

To go higher (properly) you'll need all the usual suspects.
Coils or spacers, leafs/shackles, shocks, brake lines, adj. trackbar,.

with a long arm you can tell the difference. the arms run from the axle to back by the transfer case. They say anything over 3.5" usually you need a SYE.
and please dont do blocks in the rear. you will destroy your leaf springs. Do a shackle or bastard pack if you want more lift.

3.5 with basic budget, you can spend enough on just that. Higher takes on a much bigger plan. However being a jeep, you can just drive around the block stock and your bound to come up with a plan for extra parts.
