You will need new u bolts. Get them online maybe. Search 3 inch lift Jeep Cherokee u bolts and whatever axle you have. Should find something

if the stores dont have them, call one of the lift companies and they will be able to hook you up

i have found that its cheaper to buy a block lift kit and use the u-bolts from it than buying u-bolts at the parts store, plus you can use the blocks as paperweights.

look up "spring shop" in your area. they will bend them for you right on site.
for instance, here we have Delta Spring and Suspension and Cambridge Spring.
