The only thing you need is a track bar and some longer brake lines if your gonna wheel it hard. You can relocate the front lines and get a TJ rear line for like $15 or so. As far as tires go its all in what you're gonna do with it. My vote is always for the wrangler duratracs.

So I bought a 1990 Cherokee with a 4.5" longarm lift with new leaf packs and 32/11.50 15 tires
What I want to do is get 2" lift shackles and 2" coil spacers for a 6.5" lift to fit some 35/12.50 tires as my current maxxis Mudder buckshot's are dry rotting.
I already plan on getting an adjustable trac bar,drop pitman arm and 6 inch lift shocks,but What Im wondering is will I need a t-case drop or sye?
Its got a steering stabilizer aswell,I get zero vibes as it sits currently
Love the site btw,been reading soo much info on here.

And I've read sye kits are pricey,but this kit is relatively inexpensive
http://www.ebay.com/itm/18676-60-Sli...54228f&vxp=mtr
It comes with all I need right?
Edit:forget the link,i need a kit that comes with a cv driveshaft
How can I tell If I've got the 231 transfer case?

Thanks for the info,I might not even need to get a sye.Having zero driveshaft vibes and seeing that my driveshaft was at an angle that I dont think a slip yoke could handle makes me think that the previous owner already installed a cv driveshaft.

Nope... Taller spring on drivers side. The diffrence from the driver sitting in the seat is more constant than the torque from the motor. While the xj is torquey, its not quite enough to cause a need for a stiffer spring on passenger side.
I'm trying to find the website for reference, but I'm having a hard time finding it.
