lifting a 2000 jeep cherokee limited?
Okay, this is my first forum, just bought a 2000 jeep cherokee limited. With a 4.0 engine. Im almost sure it has spacers in the rear. As it sits up higher. Im wanting to bring the front up and level. What all do i need to buy? Bc im not finding any spacers that look the same as the ones in the back. All im finding is coil spacers for the front. 3" most of the time.

Well if you want to find out how much lift you already have you can check by measuring from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the flare. IIRC it is 17" in the rear and 17.5" out front. Secondly, I am assuming you mean blocks in the rear, which are not good for our weak leaf springs.
Teraflex sells a good budget boost, shackles and spacers, that will set you at 2" front and rear.

Make proper adjustment with shackles (for rear) and spacer (for front).
Shackles and Coil Spacers
GL and welcome.

okay yes they're blocks in the back. theyre either 1 1/2" or 2". i got one photo uploaded if you can see. it also has rancho s5000 shocks all the way around. i dont think that lifts in any though, even though a friend of mine told me you can use an air compressor to boost your shocks up a bit?? just seeing if there is an inexpensive way to get a starter lift. i wont want tires any bigger than 31x10.5 ever.

I can't see the picture you uploaded. Try it again and maybe we can help you out better/more. Make sure you include one of how the jeep sits now.
Also, you can run 31x10.5's on a 2" lift with some minor trimming and better backspacing or lift it 3" and no trimming. Before you pick a tire read this

REAR: front center wheel to fender flare is 18 1/2. FRONT is at 17 1/2. i may just stick with same size tires. probably 225/70/16s. but im definately gonna raise it up atleast to level. So im now shopping for shackles and springs.

you may need a t case drop, but you can run stock shocks and such unless you have the funds for all the above. Then go for it.
