If you want some fairly specific info you can take pictures of the coil springs up front, and the backside of the leaf springs in the rear.

If you search it, you can measure from beneath the vehicle to get 100% accurate. These guys are good. Post a pic and welcome to the forum. I use search on here and use google a ton. On google I always use "jeep xj" and "forum" in my keywords.

Yeah man. I don't want to discourage you, but most folks on the forum and Cherokee community are "get your hands dirty" types. If you aren't willing to snap a pic or do your homework, you might save everyone a little bit of time. ... or maybe post in Cherokee chat.

No worries, and again- welcome. I was timid to take my trim off two years ago. Definitely not one to talk. Hit us with an update. I wanna see this jeep!

The pics are in his photos. Rear pro comp shocks. Swaybar disconnects, it's lifted but I don't know how much. Measure from top of axles to bottom of "frame." I believe 6 inches is stock. Any thing over that should be your lift.
