Default New to jeeps, from Ut

Hey my name is Mike, I recently got a (pos) 89 4wd Jeep Cherokee lol. I don't know a whole lot about jeeps, but I'm not a newb to building cars by any means. Anyways my suspension all around really sucks and is completely shot, the rear leaf springs are completely warped and the ride is horrible. I am looking to get all around new suspension but I don't know what to get. I don't want anything way expensive as this is just my daily driver and I don't ever plan to do anything crazy in it, but I'd like to lift it maybe around 2-4 inches, nothing to big. Let me know what you guys suggest I get, I'm open to anything you guys have to say. Thank in advance! Ohh and also forgot to mention that when I bought the jeep it came with a set of rear leaf springs that are supposedly 2 inches bigger, but i'm not sure about using them or just buying an entire new kit.

go find like a 98 jeep grand cherokee with a big useless v8 in it and then take the springs out of the front of it. then get some leafs out of an s10 or blazer and then put some two inch lift blocks and two inch shackles front and rear. take the rear swaybar and throw it in the trash and make some disconnects for the front. wala cheap sexy 3 inch lift. then put 31's or 32's on
