Just wanted to know how far to go before you have to worry about rollin over. As long as you have all 4 tires touchin are you pretty much safe? I wanna try and push mine but it gets pretty sideways when I do

Disconnect your sway bars. When your front coils start crunching (will probably scare the *** out of you) its full flexed.

I thought full flex was right when 1 of the tires leaves theground. I'm just wondering if as long as all 4 are at least touching, do I have to worry about rolling?

Depends on the angle of the lean with enough of an angle it takes very little movement to tip over. As in /, if all four tires were on the ground at that angle a tip over is very possible.
