Default Need lift advice

I have a 99 cherokee and i am planning to put a lift on as soon as i get out of school for the summer. Im thinking 4.5-5.5 inches of lift and i would like to run 32's. I am currently looking at the rustys 4.5 and the iron rock offroad 5.5. Is anyone running these lifts? Also what else do i need to have with the lifts (for example SYE... driveshaft.. etc)?

I know you need a SYE, new driveshaft, and longer brake lines. Theres probably more but i know those for a fact.

Alignment, adjustable track bar or drill a new hole for the track bar. Bumpstops.

I'm running iron rocks 6.5 kit and love it. Great flex and it rides great to,but I did upgrade to bilstiens & their hack & tap with a new drive shaft. And I'll warn you now there are some people on here that will tell you that iro kits are junk, but I'v not had any problems since installing mine a year ago.

To run 32's you don't need to be that tall.

32's will fit nicely under a Rubicon Express 3.5" lift with minor fender trimming.
