I wish I knew more about all this but thats why Im here asking questions.
Im plan on building from a completely stock state owned cherokee 90-96.
Thats as base-model as it gets as far as I can find.
So if I do a 4.5 with leafs in the back and coils in the front and get an SYE. Is there anything else I need as far as the lift goes?

I really appreciate your time

I like your attitude. The do it right part. While it is possible to do a 4.5" lift with the stock driveline and have it done right, it would be much better with the SYE. I have set them up with no vibes, but the SYE makes for a stronger set up in the end due to the decrease in angle on the yokes. As far as rear springs go, get the full leaf pacs.

thanks. I just dont want to end up being that idiot on the trail holding everyone up.
or worse, breaking.
Ive been doing plenty of research and found what I want my future setup to be.
1991 cherokee inline six HO 5 speed trans 4 door.
4.5 inch rockkrawler complete with bilstein shocks
33 inch tires (not sure what brand yet. pro comp maybe)
dana 44 rear with G2 4.10 gears and front and rear air locker and new shaft
SYE and new drive shaft
compressor, winch, front/rear bumper, gas tank skid, center skid.

forgetting anything? spacers for the lift? something about front axle swap.
it'll take a long time but thats my ideal rig. I think.
