Default lift advice

2000 jeep cherokee. I am looking for some advice on a good suspension lift for my cherokee. From what ive heard 3in is the smallest you can go? Even a 2in lift would be fine. I am looking to get a slightly larger tire and a better ride compared to the blown out oem stuff. I dont do much 4 wheelin with the jeep because its my daily commuter and cant afford to break it. thanks

Of your going budget, look into rough country 3in. Gives you a mild, good loft with all the parts. There's two so pick you're poison. Good luck

Depends on what tire you plan on running. That is my first question, and then we can go my from there.
