Bought a 98 Cherokee as a project-commuter . Want to add a small lift kit, 2-3". There are a lot of options out there. Do you go all out with new springs or just add the lift blocks
The only good thing about blocks is they are cheap. I would never use blocks unless it was my only choice. Even on new springs. You're talking about 20+ year old springs that probably need replacing anyway. Get the springs.

This.
Get a good set of shocks to accommodate that lift.
Check the brake lines at full flex after the lift. Tearing one off sucks. Especially in these newer dual circuit, single reservoir brake systems. Kinda like teenage sex, two pumps and you are done.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Blocks are for girls Jeeps. Terra Flex or Rubicon Express.

Rough country sux!
So what's the low down on rough country
Rough country has a good price point, which is why many use them. They are WalMart quality. Serviceable but not much else. Depending on what you are doing and how much you want to put into the the Jeep, they may be just fine. You should also be replacing tie rods, ball joints, etc. at the same time as they are probably worn and changing the angles will not be good.
BDS use to make a good kit, haven't had a lift on a vehicle for a while now so not up on current offerings. Their quality is much better than RC though and good customer support.
Did a 3" rough country lift on an 89 cherokee years ago. Just your typical coil springs, a add-a-leaf, and shocks. Nothing special, but did just fine for my needs

Ended up ordering a BDS kit. thanks for the recommendation
Finally got the BDS lift installed. The BDS is a quality kit but I ordered it through Jack-It out of Utah.This company is a complete joke. Was missing a complete box of parts. It took for ever to get everything together. I will never deal with Jack-It again. The folks at BDS ended up helping me get all the parts
