I just got a lift put on my cherokee, got it for 10% off retail
I recommend checking them out.. It's a great lift and a great price. I'm not sure what companies they carry so I would just email them if you want any more information on anything.
email of the place I got it is discountlifts@gmail.com

A dedicated mud tire is also good in deep snow but will wear faster on the highway if that concerns you. If it does you might want to check these out.

As far as the RC kit goes they don't seem to be very popular around here.

A 245/75/16 or 285/75/16 should be pretty close. The Fierce Attitude MT is an amazing tire. Does great in any condition you throw at it and last along time on a DD alot longer then most MTs do.
3" Lift would be just fine for your application. For 31's on a 16" rim you will find there are many passenger tire options if you don't plan to venture offroad.
Thank you guys!

It took me a while to accept a mud tire could be one of the best for dry rock crawling. I would have thought a drag slick would be better on rocks.
Different topic. I had removed my steering dampener due to it leaking and thought it wasn't doing anything. To all those that said it's not needed anyway, you're high.
No, I didn't get DW but I could feel every bump in the road and every tire inconsistency. Added new one and it's very nice now.

With a decent steering setup like crossover or histeer it's not needed But with the stock ****ty inverted y bs steering you will notice more feedback

LCAs are a 'you should probably get these eventually' item at 3", but the shape makes a difference when running 33s.
Edit: I should note that I trimmed farther back than I did up for clearance.

You'll be fine. I ran 33s on 3" with stock arms. The problem is that the stamped steel arms have the lip on the outside for strength, and that gets caught between the tread blocks.
