OK just to let you know it is not a good idea to lift newer vehicles it can mess with the computers. But with a 3" lift you should get three inches... thats with out changing tires.. if you get bigger tires it will also lift it some but again bigger tires can mess with speed sensors abs sensors and the computer so be careful.
A winch is the thing that you either put on the front or back that has a hook and a cable on it to pull yourself or someone else out of the mud.

Typically lifts deliver what they say depending on some variables which can effect the outcome.
Are you putting on any aftermarket accessories that will add weight? This would mean a winch, special bumpers, roof rack, etc. Anything that adds weight. I've watched guys put on a 4 inch lift along with a heavy new offroad bumper and wich and then complain when they didn't exactly get 4 inches! You have to be realistic abotu this.
If you use lift blocks they may not give you a 3 inch lift if your springs are weathered.
Adding bigger tires may actually increase the effect of the lift as others have stated.

I'm not sure about all the lift kit options for the 2000 Jeep Cherokee but as for a 3" lift if you get a 3" body lift which is a popular lift option it will simply lift the body of the vehicle off the frame 3". However, if you get a 3" suspension lift it would typically raise the frame of the vehicle minus the axles 3". I would say the better of the two options would definitely be the Suspension lift so I would make sure the 3" lift or whatever you're looking at isn't just a body lift.

If you purchase a 3" lift it gives you 3", if you purchase a 4" lift 4". Etc. What is said is what you get.

the lift blocks are 3 inches tall, the block rises up the leaf springs from the rear ends.

there are different types of lifts... but it will probably be 3 inches higher than what it was before then if you get bigger tires on it too then you need to add that on top of whatever they add to the total height
