Default looking for lift opinions

I recently bought a 95 cherokee sport that wasent in the best of shape but fixed up the body and what was needed for it to look like new. im at the point that i want to make it look a little more agressive but im not sure what direction to go in as far as a lift and what my best options are. like most people im on a budget so i cant go over and beyond but want good quality for the price.
anyone that has input for me will be greatly appreciated.
thanks,

If you're on a budget go for Rough Country. I have their 3" lift and it's great. I've had it on my rig for four years now and it hasn't let me down. I sprung for the full leaf pack instead of the add a leaf because my springs were sagging some so if you have the money for it do it, if not stick to the AAL. As far as wheels and tires go check out some Cragars cause they're about $45 a wheel from most places I got mine from Summit Racing for ~ $40 + S/H so it was a pretty good deal. With a 3" lift you would want to run 31s with no fender trimming of body mods. 15x8 wheels are a good size to run these tires. Most 31s can run between $120 - $250 depending on the tire you buy. Normally all terrains are cheaper than mud terrains. Good Luck and Happy Wheelin'
