Just got my first jeep it's a 97 tj 4.0 and it has a stainless header and it's cracked is this a common problem with jeeps

unfortunately, yes. Headers tend to crack. What brand is it? I know Borla has lifetime warranty on theirs...

I'm not sure what brand would I be better off with a factory unit or weld this one up

And I was wondering how much lift can I use before I have to use a sye kit as you can tell I don't know crap about jeeps I'm a chevy convert

I would not weld it; I doubt it would hold up in the long term. As for the lift, I am not sure on TJ's (I have a YJ).

I welded my previous ones and they are still going, about 6 years later. I used a 220 lincoln stick welder and that fixed it right up. This was on a 95 cherokee we used to own.

Thanks for all the input guys after looking at prices for a new stainless one I'm going to weld my old one back up

That's kinda off topic, but 4 inchs would be the max, and that's with a 1 inch transfer case drop.
