Thats kind of what I have been thinking about doing too. I want a lift, and I want the most flex that I can get, but I don't want to be up to high and have a greater chance of rollover.

most LA kits can be run with 3" lift. prob the only one that isnt too lcog friendly is the rockkrawler kit bc of the bent lowers. my buddy had to flip them around at 3" lift on his jeep bc they hit on uptravel.

most kits can be run as low as 3" or even lower. you just need to limit the suspension compression with bumpstops.
caster might be an issue with certain kits as well, but im sure there is enough adjustment in most of them.
