I'd say it all depends. Cherokee's are reasonably easy to lift, unbolt parts and bolt in new ones, the SYE is a little more difficult your first time. SYE will take 3-4 hours probably. and I would think the lift could be done in 4 hours or less depending on what parts you are reaplcing.

first off, if youve never done any of this stuff, i could see the lift alone taking 3-4 hours
The SYE took me and CromeTJ about 6 hours on a lift, it was the first time we had done something like that, and we had to make a couple autozone runs
The most important thing to remember is that you need a good pair of LOCK RING pliers, not snap ring pliers!
Also, why are you not getting an adjustable track bar? the old 3 inch kit i had at least came with a track bar drop bracket. You will deff have issues with axle allignment under your jeep.

my 3" kit didnt come with a tracbar, and it didnt cause any problems. Infact I bought an adjustable bar for the 3" and it caused me numerous problems.

mine didnt come with a tracbar or a drop bracket. maybe its becuase its the rustys one..
i will get one. im just not sure if i will have it before i do the lift.
i still have a few more thigns to get SS brakeline and shims and sye being a few of them.
also does anyone know the quality of the rustys tracbar? it says it allows for 2" of adjustment.. is that enough

I would stay away from the rusties track bar. I have seen two fail first hand, and I know another guy in the club had the same problem. The quality of the TRE's they use are poor . . . and they hit the diff on some jeeps. I am sure b1uerocket will chime in here and maybe hunna, I think he broke one too.

ya, i bent my end up pretty good.  they gave me a free one, no questions asked. i think the bars to short, mine needs to be adjusted way out to line up right. |

my rustys TB sucked too, the tie rod ends were trash, it hit the diff and i had the opposite problem of hunna...With a 3" lift it was too long even adjusted all the way in. It was cheap and didn't require drilling but i got what i paid for. just my .02
