Newbie XJ. 1999 Cherokee Sport 6 cyl 4WD 4 door lifted 6 inches
I need help buying these parts for my XJ. Not sure of good brands or specific parts. These parts need replacing:

Suspension
Coil
Tie rods
Struts
Ball joints
Spark plugs
A/C system
Leaf springs
Alternator
Water pump

Any leads will help
I appreciate links as well. Thank you
 
Easy answer, cheap parts are cheap for a reason, buy top quality replacement parts and genuine Jeep engine sensors. NAPA usually has good/better/best parts, I ALWAYS buy the best ones. Most auto parts stores sell generic cheap crappy Chinese made parts, some that even come with a "Lifetime Warranty". These parts are poorly manufactured and/or made from inferior materials. They are often out of specification, or even failed, right out of the box. The ones that are not faulty many times will have a short service life before they fail.

Champion Copper spark plugs, NTK O2 sensors, Moog and Spicer, new not rebuilt water pumps.

So I'd use rockauto for as much as possible a lot cheaper than box stores. A lot of what you have listed is a great time for upgrading. Can easily get a little lift if you wanted.

Here's some suggestions
Suspension- MOOG except R series
Coil- Stock Upcountry coils will net you a little lift otherwise OEM
Tie rods- MOOG except R series
Struts Bilstiens or OME (old man emu) are great upgrades over stock but more $
Ball joints- Spicer
Spark plugs- Stock Champions (? trying to remember if Champion where stock)
A/C system Need more info, like to recharge?
Leaf springs- Rubicon express or a bastard pack. General spring is another option
Alternator- Napa
Water pump- I've always used Gates but whatever just find with a metal impeller.
