Default Just bought my first jeep!

Hi guys! So yesterday I bought my first jeep. Its nothing fancy, a 95 2 door cherokee country automatic with 4WD. Its only my second car Ive ever owned, and I definitely like it better than my first car (a p.o.s old honda rust bucket).
Anyway, the vehicle is pretty much stock all around, and I have like and extra 400 bucks to spend. So what would you spend it on? I kind of want to put a lift on it. The tires on it are brand new, so Im prolly not gonna get mud tires or anything like that, but can I do like a 3-4 inch lift for 400 bucks? What would you put the money towards?
Looking forward to joining your guys' community!

i would take that money and do a nice tuneup, plugs,wires,cap,rotor,oil,oil filter,air filter,fuel filter,o2 sensor and maybe run some seafoam through it, at the very least change the oil and oil filter, i think you can get a 3 inch lift for around 400 also.
