Think About Driveshaft Angles Too That Means They Can Break If Not Adjusted Right.

I'm also interested in this topic for my 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee. For those who have installed lift kits some basic info would be helpful, such as:
* Recommended brands/types
* Tire upgrade recommendations (as well as concerns with KEEPING the same tires)
* Drive shaft considerations (how high can you go before needing to alter other parts)
* Steering or other considerations

For my '94 I'm really interested in a bit more clearance for rough terrain - not necessarily the toughest rocks & hills, but for towing & working at construction sites I'd like to be a bit above the ground.

I appreciate your feedback!
