Question Upgrading my 3 Inch Lift To a 4 Inch Lift?

I recently got the Rough Country 3 Inch Lift Kit, and so far I am happy, but it doesn't really look that lifted. I am looking at some of these 4 and 4.5 inch lifts from Rough Country and they are much more pronounced then my 3 inch lift. It could also be the fact that I am running 30 inch tires which would effect how it looks.

I have heard that at 4 inches control arms become an issue? If I were to upgrade the lift kit, I would only really want to use a "shim system" or something close to that? Because I do not want to spend all that money all over again on a brand new lift kit.

Any suggestions or products I should check out?

Any help or suggestion in any way is welcome! Thanks

you could buy a 4.5" kit and sell the 3.5" or get some 1" shackles and a coil spacer. You probably don't need control arms being that your only running a 30" tire. However If you step u tire size buy control arms. You may also need an sye or t case drop.
