I have a 4 1/2" lift with 31's and they STILL scrub at FULL turn.
So unless you plan on hacking away at your fenderwalls and bumpers...
Go with the 4.5 or 6 and be DONE WITH IT...

I got a friend of mine running a 3" lift and 31's... and he said it only barely rubs @ full lock.. which he said he only does every so often... So I would say depending on the backspacing and the width of the 31 you run.. you should be fine @ 3" of lift...
