your control angles aren't going to be ideal

Indeed. Theres a fair chance a 35 with 6.5" and shortarms will rub the inside of the wheelwell by the door. Your going to want to do drop brackets or longarms at that height, and probably do less of a block in the rear.

Did you account for sye/cv? you will need them.

Rustys 4.5 lift with 1.5 inch shackles and 1.5 inch coils spacers and 32's. At the time I wasn't even able to stuff 33's till I cut.
35's would take a bunch of cutting. and as mentioned you will not be happy with the handling. I went to a long arm set up 6 months after this pic.

I'm not talking about the fendors though, i think your going to hit the wheelwells themself. When you go tall with shortarms, the arms are at a hard angle at normal height, which pulls the axle back quiet a bit. Not only will it not fit (or barely fit), it will ride like hell, and you will have no droop.

pretty much the exact lift you described except i have drop brackets. it fits with lots of cutting. i actually love how stable it is on the off camber stuff. i wouldnt ever lift a cherokee any higher to run 35's unless it was for looks.
