I wouldn't use the Tomken kit...it uses blocks on the rear leafs springs and I've seen leaf springs bust because of blocks.

When I did my lift, I got another set of leaf springs and built a 'bastard-pack' and I got a couple inches from that. You just disassembly the xj leaf pack and the donor leaf pack and mix up together. My donor leaf springs came from a '90 Chevy 1500 pickup.

For $99, you can buy brand new set of 3" HD coil springs off of Rustys Offroad. I was considering those but I got a used set instead.

For shocks, I got used take offs from a 07+ JK Wrangler which are good for 3-5 inches of lift.

I have greaseable RE lift shackles on my cherokee right meow, they are ok, but if you put new shackles on, hit the bolts with PB blaster before you start. Anyway I would maybe consider the RE budget boost, it comes with coil spacers for the front, add a leaf for rear and new shocks. ya its 259 bucks, but you wanna do it right the first time, Some of the stuff I have on the YJ I'm glad I waited and got and didn't cheap out...
