If it's a 4.0 you may need to drop the case 1" to help the angles a bit,then later on when the money's right spring for the SYE. If it's a 2.5 you'll probably be OK w/o any mods.

What kind of lift, new springs/shocks, shackle lift ??
Should be no problem, our 89 has a 4" lift and it worked fine. Now if you do a body lift then you need to do some other stuff for the engine fan/radiator and some linkage work/adjustments. Also start soaking bolts and nuts with power blaster about 2 weeks before you start too...

Easy, except for the soaking :D , does it have bushings already in the springs, if not go with rubber ones. They are MUCH quieter and have them done, they can be a real *itch to get in.
Use plenty of antiseize when reassembling.
