Well I got tired of haveing wires running all over and haveing to wire to the battery to get power. So I went down to Napa and bought a 6 outlet power block. One power line from the battery to power six fuse points. Nice and clean for the most part. My next question was where to mount it and of course what about moisture. I mounted the fuse block to the old pressure bottle radiator overflow. A waterproof fuse block was $80 bucks.....!!!!! Well I went to walmart and bought a $1.47 tupaware box and made my own.
Works awsome!!!!!! Thought Id share this with you all. Maybe give you some ideas.
My Cherokeeforum Sticker came in also;

Well I went into Docs and had him do some work to the roof rack. He bought a forklift so we desided to flex the jeep out to the max with all four tires still on the ground. Here a good idea of the articulation IRO has with 35 inch tires.
And an idea of the hieght:
Anyway hope this helps out with questions on the lift. I am very impressed and happy with the results.
