Thought i would get some opinions on here about a small build i'll be starting on this month...
The background is: 1993 Cherokee. Bought as a 2wd for $1200, converted to 4wd with a '98 Trans/transfer case + axle for $200 more.... (so note, i have the later style transfer case). My goals are: cheap, reliable, able to fit 30x9.5x15's. I do not want to regear, i have 3.55's, and i don't want to deal with a SYE.
After looking around at different lift kits and not finding what i like at a reasonable price, i found this:

So here's what i'm thinking:
Front
ZJ v8 front springs + 1" polyurethane spacers ($20/set + $15 spacers)
Rear
Additional leaf as from the link above ($30/set)
+ Bilstein shocks (good?) ($250)
+ Ebay lower control arms ($100)
That puts me at probably $450 for the entire setup...i'm thinking that would give me some really good ride quality and much better shocks than any of the kits would.
Other plans are: 30x9.5x15 Maxxis Big Horn's and eventually a locker for the rear.
Any thoughts, especially on the lift "kit"?
