Your friend does not know what he is talking about. Listen to the manufacturer of the lift. with 8" of lift 35's would fit well. read the entire description-"May require minor front fender trimming to run 35" tires."
I am running 6" and 33's.
If you plan on running 38's on a Cherokee there will be more imortant things to worrie about other than triming the fenders. 38's will blow the hell outa a D35. 35's will requier regearing and will be more than enough tire for the D35(assuming thats what is in it)
as for a brand recomendation on tires, start with a little research and decide what type of tire you will want, milage you desire, performance you desire, size, tread, and what not. With out any guidlines to go by, I can give you a hole page of good brand recomendations but only a handful would actually be suitable for you.
In addition to that lift you will also need a slip yoke eliminator and rear driveshaft. If you plan on running 35's, regearing will be a most for a DD and you should consider upgrading the D35.
That lift will require welding to your unibody and cutting off stock mounts.
