And honestly along with what others are saying... it may be splitting hairs, rolling of the dice, etc. as to whether or not the manufacturer and/or dealer wants to be a hard-*** about it. If there's a direct correlation to the OEM part failing and the kit being the root cause, then I could see them standing firm. If there's a gray area as to the cause (not directly pointing to the kit)... then you may get away with it.
Personally... 1" for 800, and then the install. I don't think I'd bother messing with it myself. But that's just my opinion. You may think it is for you. We're all just giving you our honest opinions here.

Or 1.5" of lift for about $100 google search is your friend its not hard to find there is a few lift options for KL's

Thanks for the platform love

If anyone has any knowledge here I am all ears as I am totally new to all this. I can upload pics etc. Its white paint with black. Id love to get matte black rims but again any suggestions as to what lift kit/tired to get Id be super appreciative thanks!

And I must address one other thing and that's the title on this thread. Not for nothing but there are plenty of "Help" threads created on this forum for real problems. This is not a help thread. It's more like a "do all the research for me on my new jeep" thread.
Bingo

2. MFC Offroad 2" of lift veyr simply to install a bit pricey around $450 http://www.mfcoffroad.com/
3. Dobinson 1" lift includes all new shocks struts and springs, can also be combined with the above lifts for 3" of lift Around $800 http://www.rocky-road.com/jeep-cherokee-lift-kit.html

Sure its not as cheap as what you others guys get to lift vehicles, but its a LIFT which is the same thing all you others a chirping in about. Don't like it avoid this forum

Agreed.

The KL had little to no Fiat engineering in it, the team was in Auburn Hills. Yeah, you can trace it back to the Guilietta ... in the same way you can trace the XJ to Renault. But we don't go out ripping on the Frenchie-mobile XJ and its baguette-inspired axles do we?
