lifting and re-gearing my 97 cherokee
I'm new to the forum and I hope I'm posting this in the right spot.
I'm putting a 4" lift with 31's or 33's on my Cherokee, what are the best lift kits out there? I want full new springs in the rear, and i've noticed that lots of kits come with all the replacement parts for the front end too. Thoughts?
It's a manual transmission, and I've read that it's good to re-gear the manual with the 4.11. I have the Dana 30 front diff, and a Chrysler 8.25" in the rear. The Dana has a 4.11 gear to buy, but the Chrysler upgrades to the 4.10... Seems like the ratio needs to be the same for front and rear, correct??
Thanks for the input!

Click the link. Itll help to decide your lift. Your going to start a war asking these people which kit is the best. lol.
