It was a night and day difference in my ride. I also went ahead and put shackles and pucks for the extra 1.5". It's gooooooooood!

Rubicon Express or Rough Country.
I personally like RE's a bit better, but RC's are half the price.

Control arms aren't always needed - check this chart and see what you need:

Funny, I have RE non adjustables (Superflex) on a 4 inch OME/RE lift, and the ride is outstanding without drop brackets....

Drop brackets really aren't necessary if your running the proper length control arm for your lift. They will also reduce ground clearence.

Correct, but only so far as your caster settings are concerned.
The angle of the control arm relative to the ground will make a HUGE difference in ride quality and flex. Stock, the Cherokee uses parallel control arm geometry - AKA control arm is parallel to the road at ride height. Forces (bumps, boulders etc) go straight back - very little "up" force at the mounting point, most of it going through the spring.
With the control arm pointing "up" at an angle into the mounting pocket, a lot of bumps are transferred into the unibody instead of the spring. Sort of splits the shock absorbtion between the springs and your ass...
Kind of a weaksauce explanation but I think you get the drift...
