    Most 4” lifts are done with drop bracket kits. Otherwise your CVs are going to be screamin due to the angle, which a diff drop isn’t going to be sufficient for.

    Most people otherwise stick to 2.5-3” max for 4WD.

    What's lifting the front/back now and how much lift up front? 4" will be excessive cv angles... a diff drop won't be much help. Why not just lower the back?

    Drop bracket lift will be required. Easier to drop the rear, and level with front coilovers in the 2.5 inch lift range. Higher you go, shorter your CVs will last.
