Question New dude with questions...

So I have lined up a 2001 Cherokee for purchase off of a friend who is currently in Africa (Damn Ebola). So I wont actually have it on hand to start getting my hands dirty but that doesn't mean I can't order parts already in preparation for the union.
Picked it up for what I gather to be a steal ($1700), so it gives me some money to throw at it. But I need to know some basic info before I start spending this hard earned loot. I know from lurking and searching for a couple days here that I've got a couple leaks that will need to be fixed probably the Valve cover and or steering box from what I can gather on here to be the most common. Anyways, that's where my new friends come in. I need to know if some of the experts here what they can suffice I have on this ride. I know its got a lift Rough country from what I can tell but the size I'm unsure of. What kind of diffs? just basic info from the Pics I took today. Anything you can throw would be helpful. Thanks guys I look forward to learning and sharing as this moves along. Now lets see if I can put a couple pics on here without screwing it up...

It looks like you got a steal there from what I can see. Here is a link to a VIN Decoder, which should spit out all the specs for your Jeep when it rolled off the lot: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/vindecoder.php

Definitely a nice Jeep. Looks like a 3 inch lift. Are the tires 31's?

Oh nice, if the tires don't rub, it might be a 4.5 inch lift. Check out the control arms, track bar, and see if there are lift shackles on the rear.
