Not really sure how you are planning on putting a body lift on a cherokee?? kinda hard to do a body lift on a uni body!! Good luck with that one

For me I would suggest a 31x9.5" for no trimming and stock rims. Then 31x10.5 They may rub your control arms. If you plan on minor trimming 32/33x9.5/10.5, a different rim with back spacing and trimming 33x11.5/12.5 and for aggressive trimming 35x11.5/12.5 with a different backspacing. If it were me I'd go 33x11.5 on a different backspaced rim.
These are just my thoughts and you'll get different opinions.

Your tire size selections should be based on multiple measurements. Your shocks up travel/ bump stopping, if you plan on trimming or not, back spacing, steering radius, If you plan on 4wheeling or not.

step 1 - what size tire do you want? (are you going to regear? what gears does it have now? what are your over all plans?)
step 2 - buy said tire, and see how it fits/rubs ect
step 3 - trim, adjust, get proper back spaced wheels if you didn't have them already.
step 4 - recheck, and Bump stop/limit strap if needed.
I run 35's on 5.5-6" lift. Its perfect for me. low and easy to get in and out of, has some up and lots of down.
