alright so here it is.....the build thread.......
1995 Jeep Cherokee Country currently on a 3" rustys and 31' Cepek FC-II's....not much else.
The Plans....
-Ford 8.8 rear end
-4.56 Gears and Lockers
-4.5 coils, Rear 1.5" shackles, lca's and uca's
-SYE and Tom Woods CV
-35" BFG Mud Terrain KM2's
-full skids...transfer case, gas tank
-Rock Rails
-Front and Rear bumpers
-1 ton steering
-Bored out throttle body for now (building 4.6 stroker for later swap)
-Flowmaster 40 series exhaust
I'd like to have all of it done except for the engine swap by the start of next summer, its going to be quite the work in progress.

updateeeeee.....
-chrysler 8.25 29 spline already with powertrax..... comming very soon
-33 BFG M/T KM2 on layaway they look great. all 4 locked in at $964 mounted and balanced.
-building dana 44 front with wonton......my ongoing project
deciding to run 33's instead of 35's..... still considering more lift and 4.56 gears are still a for sure.
lots of 3/16 bought for the custom skids. still debating how i'm going to do the rock rails.

im not sure if im going to add more lift or not. i think tht it'll be perfectly capable with the 33's on only 3 inches. but i really dont kno my mind keeps changing....... i really should just stick with the 35's and shut up  |

what kind of coils are you running? Maybe try some Rubicon Express coils for the 3.5" lift, that would make up for the weight of the bumper and they ride pretty good.
