Just bought a 1996 xj jeep cherokee, any recommendations on the best, cheapest lift and tires. I'm thinking a 5.5" lift with 33's 12.5? Any other recommendations? help!

i think 31 with that size unless you are ready to cut mabye 33 nothing more with 5.5
You can't be serious? 5.5 with 31's? I'm running 2 inches on 31's the rear rubs but it needs some minor trimming and bumpstops. Once i get that done it should be fine.
X100 on what these guys are all telling you. Let us know the intended use of your vehicle, and your budget, and we could all give you more direct opinions on builds. Don't forget about your tow points!
Once you get up into the 4-5inch range, things seem to get expensive quick... I myself have installed a 2" budget lift, and I can keep up with my friends jeep on 3.5" and 33's. If your not experienced, you should start small, and build as you learn your vehicle. At least that is my plan... The XJ is a very capable vehicle, and I really feel that with my little 30" all-terrains, sway bar discos, and a 2" spacer/shackle lift, the capability has more than doubled on my XJ. Just to throw it out there, I had an Explorer with 6.5" and 33's (funny, i know) and I know for a fact, my little XJ could walk all over that thing!! The power of the cherokee will surprise you!!:looney:
Welcome to , and best of luck to you!
