Factory lower control arms with 4" of lift? Interesting. A adjustable track bar looks like the only thing missing but you can get away with drilling a new hole. Also you may want to look into some quick disco's if you ever plan on wheeling it.

That's sounds like its pushing it IMO. I'm not too familiar with short arm kits, but isn't 3" the norm?

Thats what I though. I'm not sure how that is going to effect the positioning of the axle or articulation. Although Iron Rock is a very reputable company so I would assume they did their research first.

I had around 5 inches on factory arms. It worked well but the arms wore out fast at that height. I also wheel mine pretty hard. I bought some fixed lowers and it really is much better. At that height on stock lowers your gonna pull ur axle pretty far back and your coils will proly lean the wrong direction. Still have stock uppers and will keep them until I do my 3 Link build.

Should I just get 4" control arms upper and lower and not have to worry about it?

I would say lowers would be more of a priority than uppers, although uppers would be good to if you have the $$.
