I'm looking at a used 3" lift for my 96 cherokee classic (currently all stock), full leaf packs, springs, shocks. I have a new moog stock trackbar which I figure I can relocate, what other questions should I ask the seller or look for when checking out the parts?

ok so how bad of an idea is this... I just inherited two (2) 31/10.50/15's.. currently I have 235/75/15 all around... but my rear passenger tire is shot... how bad would it be to put the 2 31's on the rear? I care not about looks but more of the ride? unless some one wants to send me 2 more I may have to do this as I am too strapped after vacation to buy a full set right now.

I have the cv style front driveshaft. new transcase cv driveshaft and a ton of other ****...i am reserecting this beast..old owner decider to let her die....
SO i want to lift.... not sure how high..32x11.5 or 33x12.5 tires not 100% on tire size or lift yet...at least 3.5 maybee more....what i need to know..do i have to replace to cv style driveshaft? can i get away with a tcase drop..or am i going to have to upgrade to a joint style? i have read here to upgrade to a cv style..will stock work ( or aftermarket?) and I read on the lift sites to go to joint style,lol
