    I want a 4 inch lift and I was thinking if I got done and needed to go back to a legal 3 inch lift I would do that

    Pretty sure 50mm is highest legal without engineering, but I could be mistaken.

    Why don't you keep it at 3 inch lift, cut the guards and run 37's for play tyres. Chassis height will be pretty much the same as 4in lift 35's, but with extra diff clearance

    So the documents attached to that say you still need certification with suspension lift over 50mm.. from an "approved person"
